In this paper, a numerical crack growth analysis is conducted by using the Maximum
Tangential Stress (MTS) criterion and its extension, which considers the contact stress …

Fretting fatigue in press-fitted axles is closely related to fretting wear. However, most studies
have been limited to the effect of fretting wear on crack initiation, neglecting the interaction …

A fretting fatigue failure scenario can be explained by accumulation of damage, which leads
to formation of initial macro-cracks at the contact interface and propagation of macro-cracks …

Fretting fatigue is a common type of problem in the aviation and other engineering fields.
Due to its multiaxial characteristics, it leads to a shorter overall fatigue life compared to plain …

Fretting occurs at two contact bodies, which sustain oscillation loading. The fretting
phenomenon decreases the fatigue lifetime dramatically. Shot peening is a commonly used …

Fretting fatigue is a destructive failure that usually occurs in the parts or components in the
aviation field. One of the important research topics in fretting fatigue is the prediction of crack …

In this paper, we present for the first time the application of a fretting fatigue crack
propagation predictive technique to a railway axle subjected to bending fatigue loading …

The phenomenon of fretting fatigue involves multiaxial stress states near the contact
interface and is mainly characterized by nucleation and propagation phases. Based on the …

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 …

To predict the fretting fatigue crack growth (FFCG) life of railway axles, a series of interrupted
fatigue experiments were conducted on scaled railway axles. Subsequently, the evolutions …
