Abstract

In this study, a new model has been developed for fretting fatigue crack initiation life prediction based on the slip amplitude as a macroscopic feature of the contact interfaces. The main difference between the presented model and many other fretting fatigue life prediction models is the focus on the fretting specific characteristics. In this model, a damage parameter is combined with a damage severity factor to obtain a new fretting fatigue crack initiation life prediction parameter. To investigate the accuracy of this new parameter, a series of fretting fatigue tests have been conducted. Also, crack initiation life data from the literature were added to enhance parameter accuracy investigation. It is shown that the effective slip amplitude is an unbiased geometric-independent parameter in fretting fatigue crack initiation life prediction. Also, comparing prediction results from the effective slip amplitude with those of Smith-Watson-Topper and Ruiz parameters showed that the new parameter can outperform available fretting fatigue life prediction parameters.
