Patents by Inventor Rajasekhar V. Pulikollu

Rajasekhar V. Pulikollu has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20220335181
    Abstract: A system and method for determining surface contact fatigue life may use a finite element method to determine when components, such as a power transmission component, may fail in operation. The method may generate a finite element model based on the material parameters related to a power transmission component, generate a surface pressure time history for a loading event based on one or more loading parameters, determine, based on the surface pressure time history for a loading event, a finite element solution that describes stress in the grain structure, calculate damage in the finite element solution using a damage model, and determine whether a damage threshold is exceeded.
    Type: Application
