On the effect of microplasticity on crack initiation from subsurface defects in rolling contact fatigue
This work demonstrates numerically how microplasticity, i.e. the yielding behavior below the conventional 0.2% plastic strain threshold, can lead to initiation of cracks at subsurface defects, in rolling contact applications operating under realistic loads. A 3D elasto-plastic finite element model i...
