Abstract

Bearings are subjected to several structural instability mechanisms due to their loads. Several mechanisms involving buckling are to be analyzed in this article, like strain limit, sliding limit, tensile in steel sheet, rotation limit verification, curvature instability and friction instability to different kinds of loads. Finite Element Method and Symbolic Algebraic Computation were employed in order to analyze   behavior in several bearings sections in compliance with European Codes.
