Many rolling contact fatigue failures, such as those that occur in railway rails, rolling bearings and gears, is due to the high repeated shear load. In order to prevent such fatigue a failure, the resistance of the material against such a load must be determined. The fatigue crack growth rate is de

In this paper, analytical and numerical simulations of the crack-tip stresses are presented. Analytical calculations are performed utilizing modified Rice and elastic equations. 2D finite element analyses (FEA) are conducted in parallel using ANSYS. Results from both methods are compared and discuss
Crack extension paths are often irregular, producing rough fracture surfaces which have a fractal geometry. In this paper, crack tip motion along a fractal crack trace is analysed. A fractal kinking model of the crack extension path is established to describe irregular crack growth. A formula is der
The relationship between fatigue crack propagation rate, da/dn, and range of stress intensity factor, AK, including threshold stress intensity factor, AK,,, is analyzed statistically. A non-linear equation, da/dn = C{(AK)m-(AKth)m}, is fitted to the data by regression method to evaluate the 99% conf
