Bearing failure analysis

The embankment was to be constructed of quarried chalk, with a basal layer of reinforcement. Computer analysis concentrated on the embankment and its reinforcement. Midway through construction, the embankment slipped sideways, remaining relatively intact, somewhat in the manner shown by the finite element analysis in Figure 4, which indicates a combined sliding and bearing failure. Analysis of this mode had not been considered, perhaps because it is quite complex and the significance of the extremely low strength of the muds was not understood, but mainly because of reliance on software that did not include this type of failure. 

This report evaluates recent performance of DGs and all DG vendors with the exception of Transamerica Delaval, Inc. (TDl), because of the emphasis already being given to TDI diesels in other studies. For the period 1980 through 1983 inclusive, BNL reviewed and evaluated DG failure data, DG vendor inspection reports, the TDI lessons learned as they related to the other vendors, and previous pertinent studies. The data sources used for DG failure analysis were LERs, 10 CFR 50.55E, Part 21, NPRDS, and EPRI document files. The DG failures were classified relative to the DG component that failed (e.g., main bearings, starting system). The failures were also categorized and analyzed by mode, manufacturer, and cause. Manufacturers with significant failures are identified in the report. 

A failure analysis should also be conducted as the parent part of the joint may not be adequate to accommodate the mechanically fastened joint. It may not have the adequate thickness or the proper layup to provide the bearing resistance. As the layup cannot be changed, the only recourse is to bond additional plies. However, care must... 

The bearing capacity analysis of individual footings should fulfill two functions. The first is to predict the penetration below the seafloor to determine if the combined air gap, water depth, and footing penetration are less than or equal to the maximum available leg length. The second purpose is to evaluate the risk of a foundation failure caused by a punch-through.

Component failure analysis (CFA) It looks at the piece of the machine that failed, such as a bearing or a gear to determine the specific cause of the failure (fatigue, overload, or corrosion) and that there were these x, y, and z influences. 

The authors recommend carrying out periodical oil analysis. The tests can be performed to determine the viscosity, particle contamination and the presence of water in the fluid. The results of those tests will allow the maintenance team to identify the quality and state of the hydraulic fluid. The presence of metallic particles in the fluid can be used as indicators of bearing material degradation allowing maintenance actions planning before the bearing failure.

Analysis parameters should be established to monitor the key indices of the compressor s dynamics and failure modes. These indices should include bearings, gear mesh, rotor passing frequencies, and mnning speed. However, because of its sensitivity to process instability and the normal tendency to thmst, the most critical monitoring parameter is axial movement of the male and female rotors. 

In any structure the entire structure responds to mechanical or thermal loads. It is also necessary to bear in mind that any structure will also experience localized stress concentrations at points of contact or separation in the structure. These points of contact or separation are sites susceptible to damage, cracking or failure initiation. Stress analysis using the finite element method in structures which are bolted, mating surfaces, vessels...
