Abstract: Predictions of fatigue life from debris indented roller bearings are calculated by the methods described by Webster, Ioannides, and Sayles [9] and presented as a comparison to the actual fatigue ...

Abstract: This paper describes a novel model for the prediction of fatigue life in rolling bearings. Central to this model is the postulation of a statistical relationship between the probability of ...

Abstract: The presence of contacting asperities in lubricated rolling bearings modifies the subsurface stress field strongly in the neighborhood of the surface and, to a lesser extent, at larger depths ...

Abstract: The most time-consuming routine in the present EHL and dry contact computations is the calculation of the elastic deformation integrals. Using Multilevel Multi-Integration (MLMI) these integrals ...

Abstract: A numerical model designed to simulate a moving line contact of two rough layered bodies is presented. Fourier transforms are used to obtain fundamental solutions to relevant differential equations ...

Abstract: A recently proposed fatigue life model for rolling bearings has been applied to the study of lifetime reduction under conditions conducive to microspalling. The presence of a spike in the EHD ...

Abstract: The paper employs a rough-surface numerical elastic contact method designed to analyze Hertzian elastic contact effects of surface coatings. In particular the paper explores the differences in ...

Abstract: During the passage of a debris particle through an EHD contact, mechanical stresses due to particle compression and thermal stresses due to particle frictional heating produce a thermoelastic/plastic ...
