The power generation from wind farms is growing very fast all over the world, and wind
energy is now playing the most significant role to aid sustainable development since the last …

Subsurface crack networks surrounded by microstructural alterations, named as “White
Etching Cracks”(WEC), lead to wind turbine gearbox bearing (WTGB) premature failures …

Presence of white etching cracks has been widely associated with early failures of rolling
bearings in a number of applications, with wind turbine gearbox bearings being the most …

The formation of white etching cracks (WECs) in steel rolling element bearings can lead to
the premature rolling contact fatigue (RCF) failure mode called white structure flaking …

White etching cracks (WECs) are the dominant mode of failure for wind turbine gearbox
bearings. These failures are characterized by subsurface initiation and local region of …

White etching cracks (WECs) have been studied over the last decades as a common cause
for premature failure of roller bearings in various applications. As a consequence of the non …

Abstract White Etching Cracks (WEC) are currently discussed as a common cause for
premature failure of roller bearings in various applications. The formation mechanism of …

The reliability of rolling bearings is affected by white etching crack (WEC) or white structure
flaking (WSF) failures, causing tremendous commercial burdens for bearing manufacturers …

The life cycle of any drive train is given by the reliability of its individual components, eg,
bearings, gears, and their connections. Lubrication as a part prevents wear caused by …

To understand the role of lubricants in generating white etching cracks (WECs), cylindrical
roller thrust bearings were life-tested in different oils in rolling-sliding conditions. The …
