Thesis
An analysis of fretting fatigue
- Abstract:
-
This thesis describes a series of fretting fatigue experiments carried out under closely controlled conditions of partial slip. These experiments confirm the existence of a size effect whereby the fretting fatigue life of an aluminium alloy is shown to vary with contact size.
The configuration chosen, of cylindrical fretting pads contacting a plane specimen is amenable to classical stress analysis and the surface tractions between the contacting bodies are derived. The effects of ten...
