Fatigue Life Prediction of Rolling Bearings Based on Modified SWT Mean Stress Correction

Abstract The existing engineering empirical life analysis models are not capable of considering the constitutive behavior of materials under contact loads; as a consequence, these methods may not be accurate to predict fatigue lives of rolling bearings. In addition, the contact stress of bearing in...
