Abstract: The general method for correlating the fatigue pitting life of simple rolling elements with the life of bearings is discussed. A “correlation equation” is presented which permits the pitting ...

Abstract: In this paper an energy criterion for fatigue failure is postulated. Microplastic strain hysteresis energy is considered to be an index for fatigue damage. On this basis, a relation is developed ...

Abstract: When an axial fatigue specimen is subjected to repeated strain cycling about a fixed mean strain value, the mean stress decreases with the number of strain cycles. To explore this type of ...

Abstract: Completely reversed axial fatigue results are reported for Waspaloy and Inconel 713C at room temperature. Fatigue strength and ductility are evaluated using power functions of the fatigue life. ...
