Abstract
A bearing assembly includes an inner race to receive a rotating component having an axis of rotation, and at least one bearing element coupled to the inner race. The at least one bearing element is to rotate with the inner race along the axis of rotation. The bearing assembly includes an outer race coupled to the at least one bearing element, and a bearing housing coupled to the outer race and to be coupled to a static structure. The bearing housing includes a first frangible portion to release upon receipt of a moment load greater than a moment threshold and a second frangible portion to release upon receipt of a radial load greater than a radial threshold.
