Abstract: The stress intensity factors for short straight and branched subsurface cracks subjected to a Hertzian loading are calculated by the finite element method. The effect of crack face friction on ...

Abstract: The two-dimensional thermal elastohydrodynamic equations were numerically solved for a Ree-Eyring type lubricant under pure rolling conditions. Profiles of lubricant pressure, film thickness, and ...

Abstract: The mechanics of crack initiation in rolling contact bearings is investigated by considering the possibility of hard particle debonding from the surrounding softer matrix. The local elastoplastic ...
