The behaviour of a nonlinear rolling-element bearing often demonstrates unexpected patterns that are extremely sensitive to initial parameters and conditions. The effect of rolling-element bearing parameters (such as the internal radial clearance and the preload) on the machinery vibrations is investigated in this article.
