Role of multiaxial stress state in the hydrogen-assisted rolling-contact fatigue in bearings for wind turbines

Offshore wind turbines often involve important engineering challenges such as the improvement of hydrogen embrittlement resistance of the turbine bearings. These elements frequently suffer the so-called phenomenon of hydrogen-assisted rolling-contact fatigue (HA-RCF) as a consequence of the synergic...
