Abstract:Abstract. Fretting fatigue occurs in contacting parts which are subjected to fluctuating loads and very small sliding movements at the same time. Fretting fatigue can significantly reduce the fatigue life of materials. In this investigation, a new device is introduced, which performed using a combination of a servo-hydraulic push-pull fatigue testing machine and a specially designed jig for appropriate positioning of pads. The axial and contact loads are measured by load cells. The functionality of the device … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
