Abstract
Analytical vibration of a rigid machine spindle-angular contact ball bearings assembly subject to base harmonic excitations plus mass imbalance is investigated. Equations of motion for a complicated ball bearing assembly system are derived using Lagrange’s equations. For time-invariant bearing stiffness and damping matrices, analytical solutions are obtained for the maximum and minimum radii of disk orbit/bearing orbit (i.e., orbit maximum and minimum amplitudes). Analytical and numerical results are in excellent agreement. With increasing bearing number of balls and/or axial preload, response amplitude and shifts resonance peaks decrease in high frequency regions. For time-varying bearing stiffness and damping matrices, numerical results are obtained from Runge-Kutta method, and such numerical results are discussed with regard to time domain and fast Fourier transform (FFT).With increasing base excitation frequency, nonlinear spindle-bearings assembly becomes much stiffer and decreases the corresponding response amplitude. In addition, chaotic motions of axial vibration are observed.
