Abstract Rolling element bearings are critical components in modern industrial machinery, with rolling contact fatigue (RCF) emerging as the predominant failure mode even under optimal installation, lubrication, and maintenance conditions [1–5]. In the paper, a phase field model coupling plasticity and fatigue is developed to investigate spalling behavior under RCF loading. Fatigue crack nucleation, propagation, and bifurcation can be effectively predicted using the phase field model based on theories of energy minimization [6–8]. A numerical framework is established by using the finite element method with an explicit integration scheme. The subsurface initiated spalling, the crack evolution, More >
