Abstract
Abstract This study investigates the dynamics of roller bearings by utilizing the dimension theory technique to diagnose the bearing clearance faults of revolving machines. The generation of local defects in rotating machines is closely related to the clearance behavior of the rotor-bearing system. A dynamic model of bearing with dimension theory by matrix method (DTMM) is developed for characteristics of bearing clearance considering the influence of local defects on the inner and outer bearings races. The characteristics of bearing internal radial clearance considering the impact of the defect on the bearing are analyzed. An experimental study has been performed under various operational conditions. The noisy signal is subsequently eliminated using the modulation signal bispectrum (MSB). The efficiency and reliability of the stated approach are evaluated using a specialized bearing test and a run-to-failure fibrizer test. As a result, this technology offers a significant opportunity to execute more cost-effective maintenance work to eliminate the breakdown of machinery.
