Number of Bearings required given Reliability Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Number of Bearings = (log10(Reliability of Bearing System))/(log10(Reliability of Bearing))
N_b = (log10(R_s))/(log10(R))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

log10 - The common logarithm, also known as the base-10 logarithm or the decimal logarithm, is a mathematical function that is the inverse of the exponential function., log10(Number)

Variables Used

Number of Bearings - Number of Bearings Value is defined as the number of bearings in a bearing system.
Reliability of Bearing System - Reliability of bearing system is the minimum percentage probability of 90% of a group of identical bearings system achieving their L10 design life expectancy.
Reliability of Bearing - Reliability of bearing is the minimum percentage probability of 90% of a group of identical bearings system achieving their L10 design life expectancy.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Reliability of Bearing System: 0.65 --> No Conversion Required
Reliability of Bearing: 0.88 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

N_b = (log10(R_s))/(log10(R)) --> (log10(0.65))/(log10(0.88))

Evaluating ... ...

N_b = 3.36987838937772

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3.36987838937772 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

3.36987838937772 ≈ 3.369878 <-- Number of Bearings
