Abstract
To model the effects of the geometrical imperfections on the ball motion and its grinding track, it is therefore necessary to combine a dynamic model of the support system of balls with the previous model. For the geometrical imperfections on the ball, because of the interaction between the contact loads and the ball-spin speed, it causes the friction contact condition to remain at the interfaces with lower contact loads and lower ball-spin speeds in the separation case at the initial stage. Consequently, the variation in the ball-spin angle and the area covered by the grinding tracks is small. However, when the intermittent separation occurs at the geometrical imperfections on the ball orbit, it causes a large oscillation in the ball-spin angle and the ball-spin speed. Consequently, the effect of the imperfections in the ball orbit on the area covered by the grinding tracks is larger than that of the ball geometry. Ball-ball contacts cause a large oscillation in the ball-spin angle resulting in a uniform distribution of the grinding tracks. Hence, the effect of ball-ball contacts is one of the most important mechanisms in achieving a uniform distribution of the grinding tracks.
