Observations of Cracks from Microscopic Holes of PEEK Bearings under Rolling-Contact Fatigue in Water
Abstract:
The behavior of surface cracks in PEEK thrust bearings under rolling contact fatigue (RCF) was investigated. Eight small holes were introduced along the bottom race surface, and RCF tests underwater using different loads were carried out. The cracks growing from the holes were observed by using a microscope. It was found that the surface cracks could not be explained by Hertzian crack theory or the ‘wedge effect’ models. This indicates that the standard theories cannot be generally applied to investigation of PEEK bearings working under RCF in water.
