“…The maximum von Mises stress is an effective criterion to completely avoid the occurrence of plastic deformation. The significant reduction of the maximum von Mises stress means that the occurrence of plastic deformation can be suppressed or delayed [ 17 ]. The application of appropriate initial compressive residual stress can significantly reduce the plastic deformation and thus improve the contact fatigue performance.…”

“…The Dang–Van fatigue criterion, the FS criterion, and Zaretsky fatigue life model were applied to study the contact fatigue performance of a carburized gear under heavy loading by incorporating residual stress [ 15 , 16 ]. Mahdavi et al [ 17 ] investigated the effect of superposed residual stresses on micro plasticity around inclusions in bearing steel. Ooi et al [ 18 ] experimentally studied the impact of restrained austenite and residual stress on the fatigue life of carburized AISI 8620 steel.…”

“…Ooi et al [ 18 ] experimentally studied the impact of restrained austenite and residual stress on the fatigue life of carburized AISI 8620 steel. Although residual stress was considered in [ 17 , 18 ], the distribution of residual stress was not well represented in these studies for the estimation of RCF. Guan et al [ 19 ] investigated the influence of compressive residual stress (CRS) induced by shot peening on fatigue risks and found that appropriate CRS distribution could decrease the rate of damage accumulation in bearing steel containing carbide.…”

The crankshaft is one of the core components of a Rotate Vector (RV) reducer. The fatigue life of the RV reducer is severely hindered by fatigue failure on the eccentric cylindrical surface of the crankshaft. The hardness gradients and residual stress in the crankshaft, associated with machining operations, exert an enormous impact on the rolling contact fatigue (RCF). In this work, a finite element method (FEM)-based three-dimensional elasto-plastic contact model is established to calculate the stress–strain field by taking hardness gradients and initial residual stress into account. The RCF characteristics of an RV reducer crankshaft is investigated by applying modified Fatemi–Socie (FS) multiaxial fatigue criterion. The results indicate that initial residual stress plays an influential role in the fatigue damage by altering the distribution of the maximum normal stress near the contact surface. The modified FS fatigue criterion could better consider the effect of initial residual stress and the shear stress, which significantly improves the prediction accuracy of the contact fatigue life model. The contact fatigue performance could be considerably improved by designing appropriate shot peening parameters to obtain optimized residual stress distribution. Therefore, the technique presented may serve as an important guideline for the anti-fatigue design of an RV reducer crankshaft.

“…Bearings are the major components experiencing sub surface-initiated failures due to repeated contact load during the operation. Most subsurface cracks originate from the sub surface inclusions, which act as the dislocation accumulation point and induce microplastic strain in it [7]. Different hardening techniques are used to improve the rolling contact fatigue performance of the bearing steels.…”

This paper aims to study the effect of shot peening on the Rolling Contact Fatigue (RCF) life of EN 31 Steel subjected to a pure rolling condition. Tests were carried out under lubricated contact conditions using a two-disc on-cylinder test rig. The orthogonal stress distributions and depth of deformation zones under static loading conditions were calculated using an elastic model by Finite Element Analysis (FEA) method. Shot peening increased the surface hardness by 20 % and imparted residual stress, which resulted in a 2-fold improvement of life. The depth of origin of the crack from the sub-surface was found to be in good agreement with the depth of maximum shear region obtained from the finite element model.
