Smearing damage was created on cylindrical roller bearings (CRBs) using a laboratory test
protocol that required alternating the load zone direction according to a square wave …

Infantile failures of rolling bearings in large-scale wind turbines have limited the reliability of
these clean energy generation systems. The major components of a modular wind turbine …

The set and roller slip of an NU215 cylindrical roller bearing with medium clearance (MC)
and tight clearance (TC) classes have been tested and compared to those of extensive …

Rolling-element bearings play vital roles in the dynamic vibration performance of the whole
machinery. Hence, accurate modeling and assessment of the rolling-element bearing are …

Three phase short circuit power converter faults in wind turbines (WT) result in highly
dynamic generator torque reversals, which lead to load reversals within the drivetrain …

This paper considers the time‐varying loads experienced by wind turbine main bearings.
Radial load trajectories based on simulated data indicate that 'looped'structures, in the form …

The slip behavior of four cage types was studied for an NU215 cylindrical roller bearing
under radial forces lower than the minimum recommended by the manufacturer by …

A skid damage test rig was developed to simulate the dynamic contact between bearing ring
and roller, to reveal the reason why the skid damage of roller bearing sometimes occurs …

The rolling element slip of an NU215 cylindrical roller bearing fitted with four cage types was
studied under various operating conditions. In comparison, a specially designed full …

Thermally induced white etching layers (WEL) are known to increase the risk of rolling
contact fatigue (RCF) cracks. This study focuses on the potential of an energetic approach …
