...Mireia Olave; Xabier Sagartzazu; Jorge Damian; Alberto Serna This paper proposes a procedure for obtaining the load distribution in a four contact-point slewing bearing considering the effect of the structure’s elasticity. The uneven stiffness of the rings and the supporting structures creates...
