Three-dimensional boundary element and experimental analysis of lubricant ceramic surface ring cracks in rolling contact

Surface defects such as ring cracks are located on silicon nitride ceramic rolling elements.The random nature of ring crack position creates difficulties in predicting rolling contact fatigue (RCF) life. The influence of the lubricant, contact pressure and crack geometry on the RCF mechanism is diff...
