Experimental Analysis of the Dynamic Characteristics and Lubricant Film of a Ball Bearing under Combined Static and Dynamic Load (Experimentele analyse van de dynamische eigenschappen en smeerfilm van een kogellager onder gecombineerde statische en dynami KU Leuven
Being particularly critical components, the serviceability of rolling element bearings is usually essential for the machines operation. They have been the subject of research for more than a 100 years. The work of this manuscript investigates two aspects of rolling element bearings. Firstly, the dynamic behaviour of a rolling element bearing is analysed. The study emphasises the influence of the lubricant film on the bearing dynamics. Secondly, ...
