Contact stress and rolling contact fatigue of indented contacts: Part II, rolling element bearing life calculation and experimental data of indent geometries

This article presents a brief overview of how the stress risk integrals of indented contacts are combined to calculate a rolling element bearing life and some experimental data concerning measured indentation. The possibility of predicting surface indentation and bearing life from normalized contamination standards is discussed.
