The power generation from wind farms is growing very fast all over the world, and wind
energy is now playing the most significant role to aid sustainable development since the last …

Subsurface crack networks surrounded by microstructural alterations, named as “White
Etching Cracks”(WEC), lead to wind turbine gearbox bearing (WTGB) premature failures …

Premature failures associated with microstructural degradation, ie white etching cracks
(WECS), are becoming commonplace as applications are requiring tribological components …

White etching areas (WEAs) and white etching cracks (WECs) are the catastrophic
premature failure modes associated with wind turbine gearbox bearings. Several drivers …

The life cycle of any drive train is given by the reliability of its individual components, eg,
bearings, gears, and their connections. Lubrication as a part prevents wear caused by …

The reliability of rolling bearings is affected by white etching crack (WEC) or white structure
flaking (WSF) failures, causing tremendous commercial burdens for bearing manufacturers …

Premature failure of bearings during rolling contact fatigue is often associated with the
formation of white etching cracks (WECs). Crack surface rubbing of WECs transforms the …

It is a common observation that rolling bearings fail due to the formation of white etching
areas and white etching cracks (WEA/WEC). Branching crack networks beneath the surface …

Existing methods for optimizing wind array layouts typically use power or cost objectives and
rarely consider reliability‐based objectives. Component and system failure rates, however …

Scuffing evaluation is challenging due to the catastrophic nature of this failure mode. In this
paper, a new scuffing test method was designed for evaluating the scuffing capacity of fully …
