Abstract
- An improved moment of load path model for rolling contact fatigue life prediction is proposed in this paper. First, the complex multiaxial stress variation of the subsurface materials under rolling contact conditions was analyzed by the finite element method. Next, the equivalent stress parameter was presented to characterize the complex stress state based on the improved moment of load path method. The key concept of the proposed method is building a new coordinate system for analyzing the load path of the complex multiaxial stress state. The efficiency of the proposed model was validated with different kinds of fatigue test results in the existing literature. The model results show a good agreement with the test data. Finally, the model was used to obtain the relationship of the Hertz stress versus fatigue life under rolling contact conditions according to the fatigue life data. Highlights: The proposed multiaxial life prediction model considers the hydrostatic stress.The correlation of the multiaxial test data is built using a defined stress parameter.Rolling contact fatigue life is predicted by the proposed multiaxial model.
