The mechanism that determines the fatigue limit associated with small-crack arrest in Ni-
based superalloy 718 remains under debate. In order to comprehensively assess the alloy's …

The fatigue behaviour of small, semi‐elliptical surface cracks in a bearing steel was
investigated under cyclic shear‐mode loading in ambient air. Fully reversed torsion was …

An investigation was conducted into the influence of statically-applied, mode I, crack-
opening load on the threshold condition for propagation of a shear-mode fatigue crack in a …

The ranges of the threshold stress intensity factor (SIF), Δ K IIth and ΔK IIIth, for small shear-
mode cracks in bearing steel are measured using torsional fatigue testing under static …

Flaking type failure in rolling‐contact processes is usually attributed to fatigue‐induced
subsurface shearing stress caused by the contact loading. Assuming such crack growth is …

The objectives of the present paper are to clarify the rolling contact fatigue (RCF) crack path
in high strength steel with artificial defects using synchrotron radiation micro-computed …

Fatigue strength of Ni-based superalloy 718 was investigated relative to shear-mode crack-
growth thresholds, to evaluate the influence of crack-opening/-closing stresses …

Rolling contact fatigue (RCF) tests were conducted on rolling bearings with drilled holes at
the mid-point of the raceway. Flaking limit was determined by the shear-mode threshold of a …

Investigations concerning surface crack growth are necessary for understanding the
mechanism of rolling contact fatigue (RCF) of bearings because the surface defects cause …

Intrinsic (effective) threshold is a material characteristic important for both engineering and
science connected to fatigue crack propagation processes. This paper presents the first …
