Competition between surface and subsurface rolling contact fatigue failures of nitrided parts: A Dang Van approach

This study focuses on the prediction of the location of crack initiation for gas-nitrided steels subjected to rolling contact fatigue taking into account the material property gradients induced by the nitriding process. Several approaches based on the Dang Van criterion are compared to experimental data to find the most reliable prediction model.
