Abstract: The analysis of elastic contact in rolling bearing can be solved by FEM[5,8,8] , and the computed results are in good agreement with the experimental ones. The constitutive model of the frictional contact problem is discussed, then a mathematical programming method for this problem can be obtained from parametric variational princlple[1,2]. However, considering the friction between housing and outer ring in order to accord with the practical problem, the contact pressure distribution of bearing were computed under different frictional conditions.
