Abstract: This paper presents a fast and robust three-dimensional contact computation tool taking into account the effect of cyclic wear induced from fretting solicitations under the gross slip regime. ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional elastic-plastic contact code based on semi-analytical method is presented and validated. The contact is solved within a Hertz framework. The reciprocal theorem with initial ...

Abstract: A new methodology is proposed to evaluate the rolling contact fatigue (RCF) performance of bearing steels in presence of surface dents. The experimental procedure consists of denting the raceway ...
