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 …

Bearing failure is a cause of concern in a variety of machinery such as turbines,
transmissions, drills, engines, etc. It is often associated with rolling contact fatigue (RCF) …

In the present paper, a criterion for fatigue assessment of high strength steels is proposed,
where the influence of non-metallic inclusions on fatigue life is taken into account. To such …

The high failure risk of gearbox rolling bearings limits the development of wind energy
industry. Introducing sliding bearings with augmented load-bearing capabilities could …

In this study, the relationship between fatigue life and the feature parameters of fatigue
fracture surfaces was statistically analyzed to successfully develop a new fatigue life …

This work demonstrates numerically how microplasticity, ie the yielding behavior below the
conventional 0.2% plastic strain threshold, can lead to initiation of cracks at subsurface …

This investigation entails analysis of 520 butterfly formations (BFs) and non-metallic
inclusions without BFs in two RCF-tested roller bearings to elucidate the influence of …

Condition monitoring (CM) of wind turbine gearbox is one of the key concerns for the reliable
operation of wind power generation. With the huge ongoing transition towards renewable …

One of the main failure indications in rolling bearings subjected to rolling contact fatigue
(RCF) is premature subsurface cracking accompanied by white etching areas (WEAs). The …
