Abstract: | There has been a considerable body of research concerned with predicting the service life of rolling contact components. It is well known that the prevailing cause of failure in rolling contact components is fatigue crack. Although the trend has been toward the use of surface integrity in fatigue life prediction, one aspect missing in most models has been a consideration of the residual stress scatter in the subsurface. Since the fatigue life of a manufactured component depends on its weakest point, the local extreme is most relevant for the fatigue life prediction. This study thus incorporates the residual stress scatter into the rolling contact fatigue life model to predict the fatigue life closer to the experimental life. It is noted that residual stresses vary significantly at the same depth. After the residual stress scatter is incorporated into the model, the predictions agree well with the experimental lives. |
