• Residual Stresses Effect on Fatigue Life of Rolling Contacts 

      Crețu, Spiridon; Benchea, Marcelin (Universitatea ”Dunărea de Jos” din Galați, 2008)
      The fatigue life tests carried out on two groups of ball bearings point out the positive influence of the compressive residual stresses induced by a previous loading in the elastic-plastic domain. The values of residual ...
    • A Three-Dimensional Elastic-Plastic Analysis of Rolling Contacts 

      Benchea, Marcelin; Crețu, Spiridon (UDJG, 2010)
      An analysis model has been developed to model the nonlinear strain rate dependent deformation of rolling bearing steel stressed in the elastic-plastic domain. The model is designed in the frame of the incremental theory ...
