Rolling Bearings

Tribology Damage Modes and Life Modelling

This book presents the most relevant damage modes in rolling bearings, describing their basic mechanisms, their competitive nature, and the way to model these damaging mechanisms. It includes traditional bearing life calculations as well as a new formulation separating the surface from the subsurface survival.

Rolling Bearings presents the most relevant damage modes in rolling bearings, with particular emphasis on surface, describing their basic mechanisms, their competitive nature, and the way to model these damaging mechanisms. It includes traditional bearing life calculations, as well as a new formulation separating the surface from the subsurface survival.

After describing basic aspects of rolling bearing operation, the book then covers classical bearing life models and new aspects of bearing life, including the separation of surface from sub-surface survival and some application examples to hybrid bearings. It discusses detailed lubrication aspects of micro-geometry, including partial lubrication, dry contact and thermal basic aspects. The book devotes separate chapters to exploring basic damage modes, including mild-wear, surface distress, fatigue-wear, particle entrapment and damage, among others.

Written for mechanical, aerospace, industrial engineers, and tribologists, this book will also interest engineering students and researchers studying tribology, machine design, and mechanics.
