Estimation Method of Micropitting Life from S-N Curve Established by Residual Stress Measurements and Numerical Contact Analysis
Micropitting is a type of rolling contact fatigue (RCF) associated with rough surfaces and severe lubrication conditions.In the present study, we developed an estimation method for micropitting life.An S-N curve, which is a relationship between micropitting life and stresses acting in the region affected by surface asperities (near-surface stress),
