Contact fatigue is the result of contact pressure, applied repeatedly on elements that roll, slide, or roll and slide. Subsurface cracks induced by contact fatigue, as predicted by Laundren-Falugren and later by Ioannides, are confirmed in the laboratory by examination of failed high carbon steel roping wires from the action of rolling and sliding motion.
