abstract = "The estimation of the life of rolling element bearings (REBs) is crucial to determine when maintenance is required. This paper presents a methodology to calculate the fatigue life of REBs considering non-stationary conditions. Instead of taking a constant value, the paper considers cyclic loading and unloading processes, as well as increasing and decreasing values of the speed of rotation. It employs a model-based approach to calculate contact loads between the different elements of the bearing, with a finite element model (FEM) used to calculate the contact stresses. Using this information, it then performs a fatigue analysis to study overloading in faulty bearings.",
