In this study, crack propagation in PPS thrust bearings under rolling contact fatigue (RCF) in water was observed, and relation between subsurface crack and internal shear stress parallel to the surface was investigated. It was found the cause of flaking was subsurface crack. They were evaluated in terms of contact stress and friction between their faces. It was discovered that subsurface cracks distributed around shear stress peak, and flaking failure was dominated by subsurface shear stress.

Tribological fatigue failure of the machined PEEK shaft was investigated through the one-point type rolling contact fatigue test between a PEEK shaft and an alumina ball, in order to explore fatigue fracture mechanism of frictional parts working at high frequency in various mechanical elements. Due to Hertzian contact of cyclic compressive stress, the subsurface crack occurred within approximately 300 μm depth from thesurface and propagated along the rolling direction. After that, the subsurface crack propagation direction changed toward the surface. The flaking occurred on the raceway of the PEEK shaft when the subsurface crack reached to the PEEK shaft surface.

 The objective of the present paper is to clarify the effect of defect length in depth direction on rolling contact fatigue (RCF) crack propagation in high strength steel. RCF test and synchrotron radiation micro computed tomography (SR micro CT) imaging were conducted. In the case of the defect with the 15 ?m diameter, flaking life decreased with increasing defect length. In a comparison of the CT image and the SEM view, the shapes of defects and the locations of the horizontal cracks were almost the same respectively. The mechanism of RCF crack propagation was discussed by finite element (FE) analysis. Defects led to higher tensile residual stress than that without defects in the region where the defect exists. The shear stress range at 0.1 mm in depth on the middle line of the defect and the range of mode II stress intensity factor at the bottom of a vertical crack increased with increasing defect length.

Complex crack networks are initiated in rails under Rolling Contact Fatigue. This paper attempts to model the RCF crack propagation with a particular emphasis on the branching conditions and the parameters that play a role on them. The numerical tool proposed rests on the combination of the author’s RCF model, Hourlier and Pineau’s criterion for the branch prediction and experimental data and the corresponding models for fatigue crack extension that are derived from a Joint European project. Parametric studies on the influence of (i) residual stresses, (ii) both interfacial crack and wheel/rail contact frictional effects, (iii) neighboring crack are conducted to reach a better understanding of the RC crack propagation behavior and more particularly the branch conditions, i.e., the length of the primary crack prior to branch formation and the branch direction.
