Abstract:

Ceramic rolling elements of hybrid bearings may initially include surface imperfections. In order to provide reliable operation of a bearing, the criticality of such imperfections under rolling contact fatigue is examined by defining them as Star features: intersecting semi-elliptical surface cracks. Parametric study is conducted using Finite Element Method and discussed with help of previously published experimental observations. The effects of the Star feature morphology and configuration, contact pressure and crack face friction are investigated in terms of stress intensity factors. Possible crack propagation scenarios are explained in the present study.
