In this paper, a finite element model for the prediction of fretting fatigue crack initiation in the
full-scale railway axle was proposed, which took into account the influence of the stress …

A methodology that coupled the fretting wear, crack initiation, and propagation was firstly
proposed for the total fatigue life assessment of press-fitted axles. The Smith–Watson …

A Finite element based methodology for fretting wear and fretting fatigue prediction in press-
fitted shaft is developed. This methodology integrates wear modelling with fretting fatigue …

The evolution of surface appearance and the initiation characteristics of fretting fatigue
cracks in press-fitted specimens were studied by interrupted rotating–bending fatigue tests …

Based on dimensional analysis and similarity theorem, this paper deduces the scaling
relationship considering the fretting fatigue problem of the wheel and axle, and verifies it …

Individual and synergy effects of laser surface texturing (LST) followed by plasma nitriding
(PN) and surface ultrasonic nanocrystal technology (SUNT) on fretting wear behaviors of …

Laser surface texturing (LST) followed by ultrasonic surface rolling (USR) was applied to
20CrMoH steel to improve the friction and wear behavior. In this paper, the fretting friction …

In this study, a finite element simulation method is proposed for railway axle press-fitted
specimens that considers the fretting wear effect in slip zones. Based on the modified …

The continuum damage mechanics model incorporating wear was developed in the
previous paper by the authors [27] to predict the fretting fatigue crack initiation life for both …

Interference-fitted joints are widely used to join a shaft and a hub. The contact pressure
produced by the interference induces stress concentration on the shaft at the hub end. FEA …
