This study established relationships between predicted ball bearing tribological conditions and empirical life equations, modifying a model to include temperature dependence and compare acceleration/deceleration effects.

Abstract

An effort was made to find a relationship between the predicted tribological conditions at the point of contact of ball bearings, and empirical equations to predict the life for bearings under constant motion. The model was modified to predict the temperature dependence, and compare rapid accelerations and decelerations with empirical extrapolations.
