Fretting wear is a material damage in contact surfaces due to micro relative displacement
between them. It causes some general problems in industrial applications, such as …

Wear tests involving thousands of operating cycles can be impractical and costly. Therefore,
the use of numerical methods to predict surface evolution due to wear can be a good …

A crystal plasticity computational homogenization framework is proposed to simulate the
cyclic deformation of polycrystalline alloys that exhibit Bauschinger effect, mean stress …

Bridge cables are subjected to small relative sliding and high contact stresses among wires
under fluctuating loads and repeated bending, eventually leading to fretting-fatigue failure …

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 …

A microstructure-based model is presented to predict the fatigue life of polycrystalline
metallic alloys which present a bilinear Coffin-Manson relationship. The model is based in …

When a sample is cyclically loaded under a mean stress or strain, incremental strain
ratcheting or mean stress relaxation phenomena are usually observed. Experiments show …

Finite element method (FEM) has been extensively applied in predicting fretting wear due to
its advantage in solving problems like non-linearity of boundary conditions. This work …

Surface wear and corrosion affect the service performance of steel wire rope. They usually
appear alternately and interact. In this paper, the friction and wear properties of wire ropes …

Metal rubber (MR) is a porous material which possesses macroscopic damping properties
through the dry friction between the internal helical metal wires. Due to its complex …
