Three-dimensional boundary element and experimental analysis of lubricant ceramic surface ring cracks in rolling contact.
… difficulties in predicting rolling contact fatigue (RCF) life. The influence of the lubricant, contact pressure and crack geometry on the RCF mechanism is difficult to determine due to the variable nature of RCF life when the crack location is not defined. In this study, rolling contact …

Fatigue life modelling of anisotropic styrenic block copolymers for a prosthetic heart valve application
This thesis describes a fatigue lifetime prediction model for anisotropic styrenic block copolymers. A shortlist of cylinder forming block copolymers has been tested for a flexible leaflet aortic prosthetic heart valve, designed to mimic the native structure of the aortic leaflet. Polymeric valves …

Microstructural alterations in bearing steels under rolling contact fatigue
… in bearing steels under rolling contact fatigue (RCF) is systematically studied. A literature review summarizes current understanding in this field, leading to the key to the formation of these microstructural features being carbon redistribution as a consequence of cyclic rolling …

Workforce fatigue prediction via wearable sensor data analytics
… awkward postures, contribute to localised muscle fatigue, which over time can cause chronic injury according to fatigue failure theory. Although observational risk assessments are widely used and influential in setting standards for WMSD prevention, they primarily offer static, reactive …
