Surface damage in elastohydrodynamic contacts
Fatigue of surfaces

Surface damage in contacts, and in particular in elastohydrodynamic (EHD) contacts, has been the subject of numerous standard studies by AFBMA (Anti Friction Bearing Manufacturer's Association), ARE (American Railway Engineering Association), ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials), SAE (Society of Automative Engineers) and ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) . We should also mention the work of researchers such as Dyson
