EXAMPLE-1
The radial load acting on a ball bearing is 2500 N for the first five revolution s and reduces
to 1500 N to next ten revolutions. The load variation then repeat itself the expected life of
the bearing is 20 million revolutions determines the dynamic load carrying capacity of the
bearing.

EXAMPLE-2
A ball bearing subjected to a radial load of 3000 N is expected to have satisfactory life of
1000h at 720 rpm with a reliability of 95% calculate the dynamic load carrying capacity of
the bearing. so that it can be selected from a manufactures catalogue based on 90%
reliability. If there are four such bearing each with a reliability of 95% in a system what is
the reliability of the complete system
