This study aims to provide an overview of numerical and experimental work, related to crack
nucleation under fretting fatigue conditions. In fretting fatigue, multiaxial loads and severe …

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 …

Fretting fatigue in press-fitted axles is closely related to fretting wear. However, most studies
have been limited to the effect of fretting wear on crack initiation, neglecting the interaction …

Fretting fatigue is a complex problem and therefore it has generally been necessary to
determine fatigue lives experimentally. This paper describes a method that integrates wear …

This paper analyses the influence of different multiaxial fatigue criteria on life assessment in
fretting fatigue conditions. Five groups of fretting fatigue tests are used for analysis, with …

This paper studies the effect of fretting on fatigue life reduction of thin steel wires, using the
frictionally-induced multiaxial contact stresses obtained from a finite element wear model …

Fretting fatigue is a combination of two complex mechanical phenomena. Fretting appears
between components that are subjected to small relative oscillatory motions. Once these …

Fretting fatigue cracks at the press-fitted part of railway axles are commonly observed in the
very high cycle (VHC) regime. However, most studies concerning the fretting fatigue …

This paper presents a finite element based methodology for predicting the effects of fretting
wear on crack nucleation and propagation under fretting fatigue conditions. The method …

The three-dimensional finite element implementation of a continuum damage mechanics
formulation for multiaxial fatigue is presented, incorporating elastic modulus reduction due to …
