Suppression of Complex Hysteretic Resonances in Varying Compliance Vibration of a Ball Bearing by Zhiyong Zhang, Thomas Sattel, Aditya Suryadi Tan, Xiaoting Rui, Shaopu Yang, Rui Yang, Yongheng Ying, Xuan Li

“…However, the ball bearing contains many nonlinearities such as the Hertzian contact between the rolling elements and raceways, bearing clearance, and time-varying compliances (VC), leading great difficulties to clarify the dynamical mechanism of resonant hysteresis of the system. With the aid of the harmonic balance and alternating frequency/time domain (HB-AFT) method and Floquet theory, this paper will investigate the hysteretic characteristics of the Hertzian contact resonances of a ball bearing system under VC excitations. …”
