SystemModel["RotatingMachinery.Examples.BearingAnalysis.ShaftOnFlexibleSeatings"]

In this example, two NSK cylindrical roller bearings (one with a defect) are seated on flexible supports. In the example of ShaftWithLoad, each bearing is fixed, which is ideal for analyzing the bearing itself. However, to consider vibrations from/to the surroundings, flexible supports are necessary. This example demonstrates the integration of surrounding vibrations into the system.
Figure 1 shows the surrounding vibrations for the two bearings, (dispBearingLeft and dispBearingRight).

Figure 1: Bearing vibrations.
The vibration pattern appears to be defect oriented. Upon examination of the total roller forces of the bearings, it is observed that a 500N defect is present in the right bearing, as depicted in Figure 2.
