Static and Localized Strain Analysis of High Hardened Linear Model Mock-Up Bearing for Fast Breeder Reactor

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper investigates the impact of strain sensitivity on the linear model mock-up bearing (LMMB) using digital image correlation (DIC) technique. This work addresses the lack of norms, standards, reference of elastic/plastic deformation of bearings elements. Towards that, experimental set-up was designed and fabricated with a set of LMMB (AISI4140) with commercially purchased steel balls (AISI52100) to study the raceway relative approach and localized strain rate on steel ball, wherein raceway relative approach is measured using LVDT & screw gauge and results are compared with DIC results. These data are very much useful in design and development of large diameter slewing bearing for fast breeder reactor and also these results can be used to optimize the number of ball, load, and tolerance on bearing.
