Abstract:Fatigue life investigations have been made for hollow rollers in pure normal loading. Different hollowness percentages between 20% and 80% have been tested to find the optimum percentage hollowness that gives the longest fatigue life. Two main models were built for this purpose. Model 1 with two identical sized rollers and Model 2 with two non identical sized rollers. In each model, two cases have been studied, when both rollers are hollow and the case when one roller is hollow while the other one is solid. Th… Show more
