Micropitting is a fatigue failure phenomenon that concentrates at the surface roughness level between interacting surfaces. This type of surface fatigue is commonly recognized to exist in gears and bearings, where specific film thicknesses are sufficiently low that the rough surfaces run in the EHL condition, where the direct asperity contacts are prominent. This paper is an experimental and theoretical study to investigate a number of fatigue failure theories concerning the multi-axial fatigue models which are depended on a critical plane analysis in the mixed lubrication regime. These failure theories are namely the Findley, the Matake, the Dang Van, McDiarmid and, Fatemi and Socie model, where they are used to perform fatigue investigation for Micro- EHL contacts problem. Numerical analysis to investigate the cumulative damage and fatigue parameter in a Micro- EHL contact is established in this paper. The results of applying failure theories have indicated that the different multiaxial fatigue criteria adopted provide significant results for contact analysis in lubricated conditions, and they are more relevant to the applications of the rough surface Micro-EHL mode.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
