This study performed the finite element analysis of the cycle of stress intensity factors at the surface initiated rolling contact fatigue crack tip under Hertzian contact stress including an accurate model of friction between the faces of the crack...

Abstract: Different models are discussed to interpret the presence of kyanite as a stable phase in contact aureoles especially in the andalusite-, sillimanite-bearing aureoles. In such aureoles the polymorphic sequence kyanite...

Spalling is a phenomenon that occurs on gear tooth flanks by contact

fatigue loading. Contact loading results to shear stress in tooth below the surface.

In repeating contact loading, shear stress also repeats. Repeated shear stress...
