Static structural behaviour of wire bearings: comparison with conventional bearings and study of design and operational parameters
In wire bearings the rolling process occurs on raceways machined on steel wires, and the rings are made of light materials such as aluminium. This particular architecture provides both weight and inertia savings, but also significantly different behaviour with respect to conventional bearings. For this reason, specific design and analysis tools must be developed; as a first step, this work uses Finite Element models to study the influence of different parameters on the static structural response of wire bearings. Thus, bearing stiffness, load capacity and contact status (contact force and angle, and ellipse truncation) have been evaluated for several combinations of conformity, friction coefficient and boundary conditions. The results have been compared with an equivalent conventional bearing, shedding light on the main structural features of wire bearings.

Structural modeling of crossed roller wire race bearings: analytical submodel for the roller-wire-ring set
Since wire bearings were patented in 1936, they have been used in applications where weight saving is a key aspect. Nevertheless, little work can be found in literature regarding their structural behaviour. In order to p…
Wire twisting stiffness modelling with application in wire race ball bearings. Derivation of analytical formula and Finite Element validation
Since Erich Franke produced the first wire race bearings in 1934, they have not been used profusely until these last years in applications such as computerized tomography, X-ray machines, wheels with direct drive... wher…
Bearing-Only Navigation with Field of View Constraints
This paper addresses the problem of navigation using only relative direction measurements (i.e., relative distances are unknown) under field of view constraints. We present a novel navigation vector field for the bearing…
From Deterministic ODEs to Dynamic Structural Causal Models
Structural Causal Models are widely used in causal modelling, but how they relate to other modelling tools is poorly understood. In this paper we provide a novel perspective on the relationship between Ordinary Different…
