Considerable progress has been made in the understanding of fretting fatigue over the last
decade. Experiments have become more standardised and carefully controlled and this has …

Fretting fatigue is a fatigue damage process that occurs when two surfaces in contact with
each other are subjected to relative micro-slip, causing a reduced fatigue life with respect to …

The fretting behaviour of a Ti–6Al–4V alloy was studied in a plain cylinder/plane contact
configuration under ambient conditions. Inspired by a fretting map approach, a global …

Rolling contact wear is a complex phenomenon that might involve different wear
mechanisms (adhesive, abrasive, fatigue and corrosive) and different stress concentration …

A finite element analysis, for an elastic perfectly plastic sphere normally loaded by a rigid
flat, is combined with an approximate analytical solution to evaluate the maximum tangential …

This paper describes testing of Ti–6Al–4V coupons in fretting fatigue and compares the
effects of mechanical surface treatments on performance. Fretting fatigue tests were …

The effect of crystal orientation on fretting fatigue induced crack initiation and dislocation
distribution is studied by in-situ SEM observation and electron back-scattered diffraction …

This paper analyses the influence of different multiaxial fatigue criteria on life assessment in
fretting fatigue conditions. Five groups of fretting fatigue tests are used for analysis, with …

Abstract High-cycle fatigue (HCF), involving the premature initiation and/or rapid
propagation of cracks to failure due to high-frequency cyclic loading, remains a principal …

A new hybrid model (M3I) based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and on a non-local
multiaxial fatigue analysis has been proposed to predict fretting fatigue life. The inputs for …
