Further understanding of rolling contact fatigue in rolling element bearings - A review (2019, background): “Surface roughness contributes to an elevated stress distribution in the subsurface which reaches its maximum at a shallower depth compared to smoother surfaces [137].”
An extensive review of vibration modelling of rolling element bearings with localised and extended defects (2015, background): “spalls or pits [3–5, 129–133].”
Mechanical Wear Debris Feature, Detection, and Diagnosis: A Review (2017, background): “As friction surfaces in a gear are insufficiently smooth and clear, asperities will raise local stresses and cause surface pits.(20,21) These pits are 5–25 lm deep and exist on most of the contact area; as a result, a large number of tiny debris particles are generated in this case.”
Propagation of surface initiated rolling contact fatigue cracks in bearing steel (2017, background): “Other authors showed that surface traction and its direction was significant [2,15,16].”
White structure flaking (WSF) in wind turbine gearbox bearings: Effects of ‘butterflies’ and white etching cracks (WECs) (2012, background): “Although rolling bearings are not perfectly smooth and are lubricated, if oil film thickness is large compared with roughness, then Hertzian theory for determining contact pressure and subsurface stresses is still applicable with reasonable accuracy.(74) Actual contacts are rough and thus the stress”
Micropitting Modelling in Rolling–Sliding Contacts: Application to Rolling Bearings (2011, background): “Nowadays it is recognised that micropitting is indeed a surface fatigue phenomenon associated to poor lubrication conditions [ 1 ], [ 6 ], thus high local friction and pressures at the asperity level.”
