SOME SURFACE GEOMETRIC STRUCTURE PARAMETERS CHANGES GENERATED OPERATIONAL EXTERNAL LOADS
In presented paper, a proposal of a new method for assessment of changes occurring in surfaces geometric structure of rolling bearings elements has been presented. The bearing curve parameter value changes serve as the measurement of the observed changes in the function of stress amplitude, for different use times. Results of the performed empirical tests reveal that description by means of the proposed method of changes occurring in the structure of the tested surfaces, during the wear process, is possible.
