Rolling Contact Fatigue in Ansys Multiphysics
Sun, 2010-07-04 10:22 - adanoop
Hello all,
I want to simulate Rolling Contact Fatigue in Ansys Multiphysics. I am
not sure whether we can perform this task in Ansys Multiphysics. Can
anybody help me regarding this? Is that possible to get S-N Curve as
result? Please help me..

SN curves of RCF are a different story...
If you want to make stress field of a rolling contact, the first step is to use ready closed form results. In fact, it is not obvious at all even with exact results, what you can apply to predict fatigue. See these papers

contact fatigue

Mike gave you a good start
Mike gave you a good start point. If you are really looking at the analysis using ANSYS, these three papers might help. They include both S-N curve-based and fracture mechanics-based approaches. The focus is on the shattered rim failure (subsurface cracking) rather than surface cracking.
