Abstract
In this study, a novel dynamic model of a ball bearing based on rigid–elastic–liquid (REL) coupling structure considering external load excitation is established, and the dynamic response of its outer ring under external load excitation is examined. First, the differential equation of the journal motion (i.e. the outer ring) is derived based on Newton’s law, and the oil film force induced by the REL coupling structure is determined by using the central finite difference method, planar bending theory of thin ring, and Simpson’s rule. Further, the fourth and fifth-order variable step length Runge–Kutta method is used to solve the kinematic differential equation. Second, the dynamic characteristics of the outer ring of the bearing under different speeds and elastic support structural parameters are examined. Finally, the feasibility of the theoretical model is verified through experiments. The results show that compared with the traditional squeeze film damper (SFD) system, the ball bearing with REL coupling structure is more stable, and the vibration damping effect is better under higher bearing speed, lower squirrel cage stiffness, and smaller elastic ring flexibility coefficient. The above findings provide useful insights into the dynamic characteristics of REL coupled ball bearings under unbalanced excitation, which can serve as a reference for the optimization design of such ball bearings.
