Investigation of the designs of hollow balls of normalized stiffness with the purpose of their use as structural elements of rolling bearings

The article presents the computer experiment results devoted to modeling and selection of the most rational design for a hollow rolling body of normalized stiffness with certain geometric and quantitative parameters of the load- bearing elements in the internal space frame. Modeling and research were carried out in the SolidWorks software package, namely in the SolidWorks simulation software module, which allows us to determine the stress-strain state of a hollow ball. With the help of SolidWorks, the calculation of the modeled structures was carried out, indicating technical characteristics of the material. The authors also presented a diagram illustrating the dependence of the perceived load by the rolling elements depending on the configuration of the internal load-bearing structures.
