Nominally static contacts such as bolted or shrink-fit joints typically experience regions of microslip when subjected to oscillatory loading. This results in energy dissipation, reflected as apparent hysteretic damping of the system, and also may cause the initiation of fretting fatigue cracks. Early theoretical studies of the Hertzian contact problem by Cattaneo and Mindlin were confirmed exp...

The susceptibility of tin-plated contacts to fretting corrosion is a major limitation for its use in electrical connectors. The present paper evaluates the influence of a variety of factors, such as, fretting amplitude (track length), frequency, temperature, humidity, normal load and current load on the fretting corrosion behaviour of tin-plated contacts. This paper also addresses the developme...

Torsional fretting behavior of TC4 titanium alloy has been investigated at different parameters to explore the wear resistance and mechanisms alloy. The loops, dissipated friction energy torque under normal load (100N 200N), angular displacement (±0.5° ±2°) frequency (10Hz 15Hz) were studied reveal mechanical during fretting. Results showed that made difference in while was most important facto...

Shot peening with steel shot followed by a cleaning process with glass beads is commonly used as surface finish in the production of modular hip endoprostheses. The induced compressive residual stresses increase the resistance against fatigue and fretting fatigue. The surface roughness can be adjusted in a range that enhances the physiological acceptance I compatibility of monolithic ~rnplants....

This paper proposes a new methodology for fretting fatigue life assessment. It uses combination of multiaxial criteria, the theory critical distances and node-displacement wear algorithm to account initiation under fretting. Further, extended finite element method is considered compute propagation life. A also introduced predict crack path nonproportional loading conditions. To validate analysi...

In the last decades, many catastrophic events due to rupture of metallic components have been traced back fretting fatigue. order avoid failures such a contact phenomenon, researchers focused on fatigue behaviour different materials. present work, an experimental campaign carried out Al 7075-T6 aluminium alloy is simulated by employing multiaxial criterion proposed for The configuration flat-to...
