Abstract
  There is a well-known pattern of flaking failure under spherical ball-on-plate contact, i.e., the network between multiple Hertzian cracks causes the surface layer’s separations. Based on this pattern previous researchers studied the failures of silicon nitride bearings. However, contrary to their ...  Read More
