Track: Manufacturing and Design
Abstract
It is important to be able to precisely understand the variation of forces due to the rolling mechanism of a rotary machine. A detailed analysis using experiments on a bearing test rig should be performed. The Finite Element model can then be iteratively adjusted so as to conform to the vibration signature that is arrived at by experimentation. Matlab programming and abaqus codes were used for better exercise to improve the accuracy of the finite element modelling results and for reducing the time consumption. Ansys software can also be used to analyse the vibrations as well as NISA for modelling results but in this case they were not used.
