Abstract
Rolling element bearings eventually become worn and fail by developing surface defects, such as spalls, dents and pits. Previous researchers have tested bearings with defects that have sharp 908° rectangular edges that were used to develop analytical models of a defective bearing. These models have limitations that require smooth surfaces and constant curvature of the bearing components; as well as assuming the defect profile. A method has been created to capture the surface topography of a bearing defect. A numerical model has been developed for a rolling element bearing that uses the measured defect profile and removes the limitations of models by previous researchers that use analytical expressions for contact area and force. The predicted vibration response of a bearing with a defect that has sloped leading and trailing edges on the outer and inner raceway was compared with experimental results. It was found that the new numerical model was able to predict the vibration response of a defective bearing. The defect topographies and the developed model have been made publicly available.
