Three-Dimensional DEM Modelling of Ball Bearing with Lubrication Regime Prediction

This paper deals with an efficient 3D modelling of a radial ball bearing to predict the operating lubrication regime under mechanical loading and mounting conditions by using the Discrete Element Method (DEM). Due to the relevance of such an approach, especially for multicontact systems, the lubrica...
