FESI One Day Seminar: Advances in Rolling Bearing Fatigue – 23rd September 2014
FESI have organised a one day seminar on advances in the understanding of rolling bearing fatigue. The seminar will consider some recent developments that are relevant to industrial bearings both large and small where long lifetimes are demanded.
Following on from the first seminar on “Developments in Rolling Bearing Fatigue” in November 2011, FESI are pleased to announce a second seminar on 23 September 2014 entitled “Advances in Rolling Bearing and Fatigue”, co-sponsored by the National Centre of Tribology.
The first seminar highlighted topics for future discussion, including fatigue models to deal with large bearings operating into the gigacycles, the limitations of current standards for steel cleanliness assessment and residual stress. Furthermore, there is current interest in life assessment methods for large bearings manufactured with surface hardened steels.
A programme has therefore been prepared for the second seminar covering the following topics:
- Steel cleanliness assessment techniques and their limitations
-
Risk-based cleanliness assessment using the Generalised Pareto Distribution
-
The metallurgy of induction and case-hardened steels
-
The effect of compressive stress upon fatigue
-
Residual stresses in rolling bearings
-
Fracture mechanics methods for rolling bearing fatigue
