Abstract: Rolling element bearing fatigue spalls were propagated for several test conditions well beyond the laboratory criteria of 6.5 square millimeters used in the author’s laboratory. Usually more than ...

Abstract: Various line contact deformation equations used in roller bearing technology are analyzed. Many of these deformation equations, primarily involving plane strain, are shown to be special cases of ...

Abstract: An analytic tapered roller bearing torque model is presented along with laboratory test data. Initial results of this proposed model are favorable. An accurate general purpose torque prediction ...
