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: 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: Available models are not suitable for calculating the load rating of bearings when an infinite life is required. This paper presents a new model that has been developed from a detailed analysis ...
