... a numerical approach to calculate the fatigue life of such bearings based on ISO 281 [ 5 ] and thus also Lundberg and Palmgren [ 4 ]. Based on a scalable rolling contact fatigue model from the two aforementioned references, a bearing is segmented. The cumulated damage of each segment over all operating...

.... Both kinematic and isotropic hardening are considered to account for repeated rolling contacts. The contact pressure and the plastic strain are found to be reduced when the two bodies are elastic-plastic, as compared to the case in which one of the bodies remains elastic. Numerical results also...

...L. Chevalier; A. Eddhahak-Ouni; S. Cloupet We deal with rolling contact between quasi-identical bodies. As normal and tangential problems are uncoupled in that case, the simplified approach to determine contact area and normal loading distribution for rolling contact problems is presented in Sec. 2...

...Zefeng Wen; Xuesong Jin; Yanyao Jiang A finite element analysis with the implementation of an advanced cyclic plasticity theory was conducted to study the elastic-plastic deformation under the nonsteady state rolling contact between a wheel and a rail. The consideration of nonsteady state rolling...
