Rolling Element Bearing: Forcing Frequencies

Rolling element bearings are used in all sorts of rotating applications. Unfortunately, because of poor machine setup and maintenance, fewer than 10% of bearings reach their intended design life; this is because even marginal increases above the maximum allowable load on a bearing can dramatically…
