Fretting fatigue can significantly reduce the life of components, leading to unexpected in-
service failures. This phenomenon has been studied for over a century, with significant …

This paper proposes a new methodology for fretting fatigue life assessment. It uses a
combination of multiaxial fatigue criteria, the theory of critical distances and a node …

Fretting fatigue damage is a typical material damage arising in mechanical components. In
such a damage condition, surface cracks can initiate at the surface contact zone, and under …

This work presents a coupled 3D wear and fatigue numerical procedure for fretting problems
in ultra-high strength steel wires that combines Archard's wear equation with the Smith …

A damage phenomenon called fretting fatigue frequently takes place when two contact
bodies are clamped together under a normal contact load along with a small-scale …

Fretting happens when there is an oscillatory displacement between two contact parts. In
gross slip regime, wear is a dominant failure mode, which has a detrimental effect on the …

Experimental fretting fatigue lives exhibit large degree of scatter. One of the aspects behind
this is the microstructural inhomogeneity which affects the stresses in the material. Variance …

In this work, a fretting fatigue experimental campaign on Al 7075-T651 alloy specimens is
simulated by using both analytical and numerical approaches. According to one of the …

A three-dimensional, strain-gradient, crystal plasticity methodology is presented for
prediction of microstructure-sensitive length-scale effects in crack initiation, under fatigue …

Torsional and axial fatigue tests were performed on steel 42CrMo4+ QT and aluminium alloy
7075-T6, and a 3D optical profilometer was used for the investigations of the fracture …
