“…Fretting fatigue has been recognised as a primary failure mode across a wide range of structural components, such as dovetail joints, [10][11][12][13] bolt and riveted joints, [14][15][16] spline coupling, 13,17 running cables, and overhead conductors. [18][19][20] Therefore, fretting fatigue has attracted the interest of many researchers, and various aspects of this phenomenon have been investigated during the last decades, such as life prediction, influential factors, mechanisms, new fretting test set-ups, and possible palliatives.…”
