Bearing deflection or yield is elastic deformation occurring between balls and raceways because of external loads. Deflection increases nonlinearly as external load increases. To increase bearing ...

Withstanding a certain static load at a maximum deflection without collapsing is the typical requirement for a mechanical structure. However, in actual scenario, the material is exposed to repeated ...

Gust load alleviation is a crucial topic for the practical application of high-altitude long-endurance unmanned aerial ...

At light loads an externally pressurized sleeve bearing tends to be stiffest, followed by rolling-element bearings and self-acting sleeve bearings. As loads increase, the rolling-element bearing ...
