Fretting fatigue is a surface damage phenomenon appearing in mechanical contacts
subjected to time variable contact forces. Typical features of fretting fatigue include: wear …

This work proposes a methodology to compute fretting fatigue crack initiation and total life by
iterative models calibrated with fatigue stress–strain-life curves. One of the main novelty of …

In this work, a fretting fatigue experimental campaign on Al 7075-T651 alloy specimens is
simulated by using both analytical and numerical approaches. According to one of the …

Fretting fatigue is a phenomenon that occurs when two surfaces come into contact and
experience oscillatory stresses and displacements of small amplitude. This can lead to a …

This work performs a detailed analysis of the cracks obtained in fretting fatigue tests with
cylindrical contact in the presence of a small oscillatory rolling of the contact pad. To do so …

The initial crack path is analysed in a series of fretting fatigue tests with cylindrical contact. In
such tests, both specimens and pads are made of Al7075-T651 alloy and a non-proportional …

Aluminum alloy (AA) 7075 is widely used to fabricate parts and components on aircrafts,
which are subjected to contact loading that may induce fretting fatigue and catastrophic …

Fretting fatigue may occur on surfaces that are in contact, subjected to a normal load, and
where there is a cyclic small relative movement between them. It could occur in press-fitted …

This study determines the equivalent stress intensity factor (SIF) model that best fits the
experimental behavior of low-carbon steel under mixed modes (I and II). The study assessed …

Fretting fatigue failure occurs in shrink-fitted assemblies due to the combination of high
stresses and relative displacements near the contact edge. Due to these high stresses …
