Fretting wear is a material damage in contact surfaces due to micro relative displacement between two bodies. It causes some unexpected results, such as loosening of fasteners or …
This paper investigates the effects of fretting wear on frictional contacts. A high frequency friction rig is used to measure the evolution of hysteresis loops, friction coefficient and …

The tangential contact stiffness is an important parameter used in non-linear dynamic analyses of jointed structures since it can strongly affect the prediction of resonance …
A finite-element model of the interaction of an elastic–plastic asperity junction based on cylindrical or spherical asperities is used to predict sliding friction coefficients. The modelling …

This paper focuses on an experimental investigation of the mechanical behavior of bolted joints. A new test apparatus to measure friction hysteresis was designed to provide a reliable …
The accurate description of the dynamics of dry-joint masonry structures strongly relies on the characterisation of the interaction at the units' interfaces. Several experimental …
The present work aims to expand the knowledge of the behaviour of masonry corners, which are capital to obtain an integral seismic response in masonry buildings. In particular, the …
Bolted joints may suffer from fretting damage which can significantly decrease fatigue life. A testing arrangement was developed to study the effect of different operating and design …
