A Data-Fitted Rolling Bearing Life Prediction Model-Part IV: Model Implementation for Current Engineering Use~©

摘要

The preceding parts of this paper presented results of a project for improving rolling bearing spoiling fatigue life prediction. The present paper fits the model to an extended database using additions that recently became available, and to a subset of the database, limited to sources from 1975 and later. A good fit to both datasets is achieved using a simpler special case of the model. Parametric behavior is plausible; the model is suitable for engineering use.
