Abstract: The paper presents a numerical model to investigate fretting wear either under partial or gross slip conditions. An efficient three-dimensional elastic–static contact model to solve both the ...

Abstract: The elastic solution of a tangentially loaded contact is known as Cerruti’s solution. Since the contact surfaces could be easily discretized in small rectangles of uniform shear stress the ...

Abstract: Debris dents produced by solid particles in suspension in oil or grease when they travel through an EHL contact may be at the origin of rolling bearing failures. A summary of an experimental ...

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 semi-analytical thermo-elastic-plastic contact model has been recently developed and presented in a companion paper. The main advantage of this approach over the classical finite element method ...

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 ...

Abstract: Tests have been performed on a two-disk machine in order to evaluate the role of inclusions, surface roughness and operating conditions on rolling contact fatigue of AISI 52100 and M50 bearing ...

Abstract: The purpose of this investigation is to clarify the role of roughness on rolling contact fatigue. Tests have been carried out on a two-disk machine, for two rolling bearing steels (52100 and ...
