Dynamic simulations are often used to evaluate the vibrational response of rolling-element bearings experiencing defects. Previously, the optimal accelerometer position has been found to be as close as possible to the bearing. However, further details about the influence of rotational symmetry have not been closely investigated. This paper presents a dynamic simulation model of a radially loaded complete spherical roller bearing with a defect in the inner ring and placed in a housing with 72 equally spaced accelerometer positions around the circumference. Surface accelerations have been extracted and transformed into the frequency domain. Thereafter, the vibrational components indicating the defect have been evaluated around the circumference. The results show an optimal position as close as possible to the primary loaded zone and validation test rig experiments show a reasonable qualitative agreement.

The need for rapid development of high efficiency jet engines and other mechanical systems has forced the pace of development of simulation tools so that the detailed behavior of the rolling element bearings can be simulated. This includes modeling of the motions, the exchanged forces, and heat between all the bearing components, i.e. rings, cage and rolling elements. The computer program BEAST is a multi-body computer program with sophisticated and robust modeling of the tribological contacts in the bearing where the exchange of forces between the bearing components takes place.
