Vgarzani,
I am only thinking of doing some basic analysis (either FEA or manual calcs) to determine resonant frequencies to see if there are any resonances in the operational frequency spectrum - I'm sure that there are resonances.
I agree that there are many variables that will affect the...
Alex,
Sorry that I have not responded before now - rather busy with other stuff!
Could you tell me what you mean by "sum of the equations before integration"? What should be integrated?
Thanks a lot.
Alasdair.
Alex,
Do you have any further details about the pendulum calculation as I'm not sure what you mean?
When you say to distribute the stiffness, do you mean that I simply divide it by the number of balls in the bearing?
Thank you.
Alasdair.
I have already posted this question on the "Bearing design, manufacture and maintenance Forum"

I would be grateful to get some ideas for the simplest way to calculate the vibration/frequency response for an azimuth slew bearing.
The bearing is quite a large...
I would be grateful to get some ideas for the simplest way to calculate the vibration/frequency response for an azimuth slew bearing.
The bearing is quite a large slew bearing which has a payload of 155kg with a defined C of G wrt the bearing. The bearing has ball bearings in a wire race. The...
