| Summary: | This paper presents a model for analysis of the chaotic turbulence in a touchdown bearing due to surface waviness. A multibody model of a bearing with surface waviness is presented. The model estimates the work done by the friction forces between the bearing components. Different waviness orders in the bearing inner and outer ring are examined by analyzing the friction losses in the touchdown bearing. The obtained results are compared with results reported in the literature. The proposed model supports selection of appropriate surface manufacturing accuracy for touchdown bearings to mitigate undesirable effects from surface waviness in a potential contact event. |
