Analysis of Bearing Outer Ring Creep with FEM

With the developments is automobile and machine, rolling bearings are required to work under harder conditions of high speed and heavy load than before. Hard conditions may lead to a greater likelihood of happening of kinds of bearing problems. One example is the problem of ring creep, which may result in unusual noise and cause bearing wear. Ring creep is referred to a phenomenon that a bearing ring rotates slightly relatively to the housing or the shaft during the operation.
