... by the authors in a prior study. The analytical formulation for a fully occupied (5 × 5) stiffness matrix of XRB was obtained. Extended simulations were performed to determine the XRB stiffness and internal load distribution considering the effects of the external loads, axial preloads, axial clearance...

... contact ball bearings. Different kinematic hypotheses are discussed. A new method is proposed for the computation of the stiffness matrix: a complete analytical expression including dynamic effects is presented in order to ensure accuracy at high shaft speed. It is demonstrated that the new method leads...
