Modelling and Simulation
Thermo-Mechanical Model of the Bearing proposed
Frictional Moment Equation: Heat Flow equation:
Where,
M – Frictional moment
N – Speed of the bearing in RPM
P- Load on the bearing (N)
D- Mean diameter of the bearing
f- Friction factor of the bearing
v- Dynamic viscosity of the lubricant
(m2/s)

 A Reduced Order Model (ROM) is a
simplification of a high-fidelity
dynamical model that preserves
essential behavior and dominant
effects.
 For the purpose of reducing solution
time or storage capacity required for
the more complex model.

Remaining Useful Lifetime
 Remaining useful lifetime of the bearing for
different speed and different load conditions are
taken into account.
 Prediction of failure state can be optimized
 Increasing smart decision making of physical
asset
 RUL can be easily integrate with the
maintenance schedule of the industry
