Surface ring crack defects are normally found on the surfaces of ceramic balls. These ring cracks are circular extending for approximately one quarter of circumference of a circle and these cracks can significantly reduce rolling contact fatigue life. In this study, a boundary element analysis was carried out to identify the main factors governing the propagation of sub-surface cracks. The calculations...
Surface ring crack defects found on the surface of ceramic balls can reduce the rolling contact fatigue life (RCF) performance. In this study, various crack sizes were selected to identify the failure mechanisms in various lubricants. A modified four-ball machine was used to perform rolling contact fatigue testing. The crack within the contact path was carefully oriented and positioned the same way...
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 on the RCF mechanism is difficult to determine due to the scattered nature of RCF life. In this study, a novel experimental technology was utilised to perform rolling...
