Abstract
In recent years, environments of bearings and polymer materials have been more and more attractive due to several advantages against ordinary metal material. However, there is still room for the further study about strength of polymer bearings. One of questions is the mechanism of fatigue crack propagation, which is the main cause of the damage of polymer bearings under rolling contact with lubricant, like water. In this study, subsurface stress distribution and failure of PPS thrust bearings under rolling contact fatigue in water are discussed to understand the detail of the crack propagation.
