Comparison of analytical and numerical solution of bearing contact analysis

Abstract

In this paper, an effort has been put to analyze the rolling ball bearing using finite element analysis the contact pressure level, stress or displacement behavior of rolling ball bearing. The obtained results were then compared with the analytical results obtained through the methodology of Hertz theory, which means composition and solution of analytical formulas and equations based on specific ball bearing parameters in order achieve optimal results to demonstrate an almost identical similarity of results of numerical and analytical solution and correct setting up of the given simulation in computational software ANSYS Workbench.
