The contact angle of a ball in a ball bearing is conventionally assumed to be a constant value in the mechanism analysis; in reality, this is not true. This assumption is made for the purpose of simplifying calculations, but the real elastic deformation produced at the position of each ball due to the acting force varying with the contact angle is unable to be considered. This study tries to establish a simple, three-dimensional expression for the elastic deformation at different position angles in terms of the geometry of the contact surface at the inner and outer races. Simply using the Newton method when the bearing deformations in the radial and axial directions are available can solve the contact angle as a function of position angle. Several characteristics arising from the variable contact angle will be discussed.

This paper describes a vibration-based diagnostic method by estimating the surface roughness on the rotating ring or balls in ball bearings. The surface roughness has been measured by a stylus that directly traverses the surface of the ring or balls obtained by taking apart the ball bearing. We developed a new method to estimate accurately the surface roughness by analyzing the short-length vibration signal that is excited when balls encounter flaws on the rotating ring or when races encounter flaws on the balls in a ball bearing. Our experimental results confirm that the roughness estimated by the proposed method agrees with that measured directly by using a stylus even in the case of crack μm wide. We applied this new method to the diagnosis of surface roughness in small-sized ball bearings and inferior samples were detected with a 95.3 percent accuracy rate.

Since the designed bearing’s reliability of 90% was determined in a lab environment, it does not represent the actual used environment. In this paper, a new methodology to determine the actual reliability that corresponds to the use conditions is offered. This new method is based on the standard method used to select the ball bearing. The proposed method is based on the two parameters of Weibull distribution, where the shape (β) and scale (η) parameters are both determined from the Hertz contact stresses values, which are generated under the surface of the motionless outer race, and by the forces transmitted between the ball and the outer race. Therefore, the derived reliability is different from the 90% index offered by manufacturers.

A new method of reducing the noise of the linear guideway type recirculating linear ball bearing (linear bearing) was studied. In the experiments, the overall sound pressure levels of linear bearings with steel balls or ceramic Si3N4 balls were measured, and sound frequency analyses were carried out. Moreover, based on the assumption that the main cause of the noise may be the collision between the ball and the carriage, the overall sound pressure levels of the linear bearings were analyzed combining the Hertzian theory and the results of previous studies on collision sound. From the results of experiments and analyses, the conclusions were obtained as follows: (1) The overall sound pressure level of the linear bearing with steel balls can be reduced by about 4.5 dB by using Si3N4 balls having the same diameter; (2) The overall sound pressure levels of linear bearings with steel balls or ceramic Si3N4 balls were both increased by about 9.8 dB as the linear velocity increased an octave; and (3) The analytical results, based on the assumption that the main cause of the noise emitted from the linear bearings is the collision between the ball and the carriage, match the experimental results well.

To address the disadvantages of the traditional solution method of the quasistatic ball bearing model, which requires the acquisition of the initial value with experience, this paper proposes a new method for a finite initial value optimization to solve the quasistatic ball bearing model. A bilevel solution model is established; the first layer is the initial value strategy model, and the second layer is the numerical optimization model. The Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm and the Armijo algorithm are adopted to solve the model. The correctness of the new method is proved by a case study of calculating a parameter of the bearing compared with the traditional method. The experiment results show that the proposed method can realize the fast and finite solution of the quasistatic ball bearing model. Additionally, the new method can be extended to the calculation of the double-decker ball bearings. It provides a reasonable and effective way for the exploration of the initial value problem of the solution of a quasistatic ball bearing model.

Investigations which require electron microscope examination of a few specific areas of non-homogeneous tissues make random sampling of small blocks an inefficient and unrewarding procedure. Therefore, several investigators have devised methods which allow obtaining sample blocks for electron microscopy from region of tissue previously identified by light microscopy of present here techniques which make possible: 1) sampling tissue for electron microscopy from selected areas previously identified by light microscopy of relatively large pieces of tissue; 2) dehydration and embedding large numbers of individually identified blocks while keeping each one separate; 3) a new method of maintaining specific orientation of blocks during embedding; 4) special light microscopic staining or fluorescent procedures and electron microscopy on immediately adjacent small areas of tissue.
