Characterisation of machine element contacts using ultrasound reflectometry

Measurement of contact pressures in machine elements, such as a cv joint, bolted joints or a ball bearing in a raceway, is extremely important. It is essential information required in fatigue and wear calculations and hence in determining the design life of a component or structure. Measurement of c...
