A PRACTICAL TOOL FOR THE DETERMINATION OF SURFACE STRESSES IN RAILROAD BEARINGS WITH DIFFERENT CONTACT GEOMETRIES AND LOAD CONDITIONS USING FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS

The connection between contact geometry and fatigue in tapered roller bearings utilized in the railroad environment is still of interest. Roller bearings for railroad applications are typically precision ground with crowned contact geometries to prevent edge loading of components. This normally resu...
