Knowledge Base Repository

In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
Friction can be reduced by avoiding friction, by using frictionless designs or by optimizing the friction involving contacts. In rolling bearings, which run under extreme conditions, the hydrodynamic cage-contacts can have an immense influence on the friction torque of the bearing. In this paper tools for the calculation of friction in rolling bearings are presented and are classified into the design process and user groups. It can be differentiated between empiric, analytic and dynamic calculation approaches. At the end an example for advancement of the multi-body dynamic calculation of rolling bearings is given.
