Numerical Simulation on Thermal Stress of Large-scale Bearing Roller during Heating Process of Final Heat Treatment

摘要

hi this paper, the non-linear finite element method had been applied to calculate the thermal stress evolving process of the large-scale bearing roller during heating process of final heat treatment. It was found that two stress peaks appeared during heating process and the second stress peak was higher than the first. If the preheating time was elongated, the second stress peak was reduced distinctly. Therefore, the pre-heating time should be elongated suitably to ensure safety in the practical manufacture process.
