In fretting fatigue, the combination of small oscillatory motion, normal pressure and cyclic
axial loading develops a noticeable stress concentration at the contact zone leading to …

In the present work, experimental datasets of high-cycle fatigue properties have been
analyzed for aluminum-silicon alloys with the application of the engine piston. For such an …

Based on a motivating example, this review paper provides a survey of various parameters
of a double-shear lap joint and of their effect on the fatigue life of such a joint. Because the …

In this article, the effect of bolt clamping force on the fatigue life of bolted double shear lap
joints was investigated. To do so, fatigue tests were carried out on the bolt clamped double …

In industries such as aerospace, defense, and automotive, mechanical joining methods are
widely adopted. However, the stress concentration effects have diminished the fatigue …

One of the principal failures of bolting assemblies is the fretting. The combination of vibration
and service load can introduce the damage of fretting fatigue on the contact surfaces of the …

This paper examines the effects of surface roughness and lubrication on the early stages of
fretting response of aluminum and steel lap joint samples. Qualitative and quantitative …

Conformal contact between two cylindrical surfaces is widely presented in practical
engineering of hole connections, the resulted fretting due to small oscillatory movement …

The main purpose of the present work is to experimentally and numerically study why and
how the magnitude of the bolt clamping force reduces in the aerospace structural bolted …

The fatigue crack initiation and fatigue crack growth life estimations have been numerically
investigated and the total estimated fatigue lives have been compared with available …
