The problem of Hertzian bodies in rolling contact and supporting radial and shearing forces in the rolling direction is considered.
A modified form of the conventional photoelastic frozen stress technique has been used to study the particular case of flat elliptical contact surfaces. Existing theories are reviewed and new theories are presented which permit the analysis of the frozen stress results. The dependence of the measured stresses on the hysteresis of rolling is studied.
