Fretting of glass fibre reinforced composites

Favourable specific mechanical properties of polymer matrix composites make them an attractive material for application in many engineering structures for which they offer substantial improvements over metals. The paper deals with fretting behaviour of unidirectional glass epoxy composites/metal contacts. Fretting is a plague for many industries: failures, loss of matter, loss of function can be induced by fretting. It occurs in all quasi-static contacts and appears as a complex wear phenomenon where a lot of parameters have been studied. From the interface tribology concept, the velocity accommodation mechanisms are discussed for different fibre orientations versus the contact surface of the glass fibre reinforced epoxy material. Results were analysed in two steps. From friction logs, Running Conditions Fretting Maps (RCFM) were first plotted in order to give an analysis of contact conditions and determine the associated material responses. The tribological degradations were then analysed. Differences between the different fibre orientations are mainly discussed on the basis of the stiffness of the anisotropic material and the velocity accommodation in the contact.     

Influence of contact configuration on fretting fatigue behavior of Ti–6Al–4V under independent pad displacement condition

Fretting fatigue tests were conducted, using cylindrical pad and flat pad with rounded edges, at various applied pad displacements and at two normal forces on the pad under a constant bulk stress amplitude condition. The evolution of tangential force was independent of the contact configuration at a given normal force. The ratio of the tangential force to normal force increased and stabilized to a certain value with increasing applied pad displacement. The minimum fretting fatigue life was observed at the relative slip range between 50 and 60 μm and it was independent of both contact configuration and applied normal force. With increase in the applied pad displacement the response of the tangential force (Q) and the relative slip (δ) showed different fretting conditions, i.e. stick, stick-slip and gross slip. The gross slip condition was characterized by rectangular shape of the Q–δ curve with or without monotonically increasing value of Q with increasing fretting fatigue cycles. Surface profile on the fretting scar was affected by the contact configurations. For cylinder-on-flat contact, the profile showed surface damage (e.g. material loss or wear) along the entire contact area. However, the fretting damage in flat-on-flat (with rounded edges) contact was concentrated on the edge, not affecting much of the flat portion of the fretting scar.     

Fretting wear behaviors of hoisting rope wires in acid medium

The fretting wear behaviors of hoisting rope wires in acid medium were investigated in this paper. Fretting wear tests of steel wires were conducted on a self-made fretting wear rig, and their fretting running characteristics, coefficient of friction, dissipated energy and wear morphology were analyzed. The results show that the relative sliding between steel wires can be promoted in the acid medium. As the contact load increases, the fretting of steel wires changes from a slip regime to a mixed one, and the coefficient of friction decreases significantly. Moreover, the coefficient of friction changes from about 1.2 in the dry friction environment to about 0.5 in the acid medium. Energy loss presents the same variation trend. Wear scar depth is larger in the acid medium than in the dry friction environment. The primary wear mechanism in the dry friction environment is peeling as compared to peeling, particle attrition and corrosion in the acid medium.     

Analytical Reconstruction of Failure of a Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger

Heat exchanger tubes are supported at intermediate points by support plates. Flow-induced vibration of tube can cause it to impact or rub against a support plate or against adjacent tubes and can result in tube fretting wear. Fretting wear damage assessment procedure has been presented. This procedure is implemented by studying classical heat exchanger cases of premature failures. The authors expect this study to be useful for estimating the fretting wear damage of heat exchanger tubes. The study shows that based on fretting wear volume rate the life of heat exchanger tube can be predicted.

     

Multi‐axial fretting fatigue behaviour of 35CrMoA steel

The fretting fatigue behaviours in 35CrMoA steel were investigated under conditions of the various contact pressure and the same maximum equivalent stress of cyclic multi‐axial loading. The specimens were characterized by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Results showed that the fretting fatigue life has complex variation with the increase of contact pressure. The different contact pressure also played very important role in fretting wear model and various wear scars were formed. The influence of them at the fretting surface on the fretting fatigue life was finally discussed by the comparison of the experimental and numerical analysis results.

THE EFFECT OF HARDNESS ON THE FRETTING FATIGUE OF ALLOY STEELS

The fretting fatigue behaviour of several alloy steels is reported in this paper. Fretting fatigue experiments were conducted on flat fretting junctions in axial tension at a stress ratio of 0.1. In all cases the same materials were fretted against each other. The fretting fatigue strength at a slip amplitude of 45 μ is rather insensitive to the hardness of the materials. The fretting fatigue strength at the slip amplitude of 10 μ increases with increase in hardness. As the slip amplitude increases the fretting fatigue life of 3SCrMo steel decreases, the depth of wear scars increases and the wear damage becomes more severe. The reason for similarity of fretting fatigue to the fatigue of notched specimens is that the effect of wear scars is similar to that of notches.     

Fatigue and fretting of mixed metal self-piercing riveted joint

The fatigue behavior of self-piercing rivet (SPR) joints joining differing thicknesses of AA6111-T4 aluminum and HSLA340 steel sheets in lap shear geometry was investigated in this paper. Crack initiation in the aluminum sheet was the dominant failure mode, while unexpected rivet shank failure tended to occur at high loading levels. Fretting wear was also observed at interface between aluminum and steel sheets as well as between the rivet and sheets under sinusoidal cyclic tension–tension loading. An Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis of fretting debris revealed the presence of oxides of aluminum and zinc. Fretting was shown to be critical to crack initiation. For initiations in the aluminum sheet, micro cracks were found to nucleate early in the fatigue life, and crack initiation life was found to be much shorter than crack growth life.     

Multiscale Analysis of the Effect of Debris on Fretting Wear Process Using a Semi-Concurrent Method

Fretting wear is a phenomenon, in which wear happens between two oscillatory moving contact surfaces in microscale amplitude. In this paper, the effect of debris between pad and specimen is analyzed by using a semi-concurrent multiscale method. Firstly, the macroscale fretting wear model is performed. Secondly, the part with the wear profile is imported from the macroscale model to a microscale model after running in stage. Thirdly, an effective pad’s radius is extracted by analyzing the contact pressure in order to take into account the effect of the debris. Finally, the effective radius is up-scaled from the microscale model to the macroscale model, which is used after running in stage. In this way, the effect of debris is considered by changing the radius of the pad in the macroscale model. Due to the smaller number of elements in the microscale model compared with the macroscale model containing the debris layer, the semi-concurrent method proposed in this paper is more computationally efficient. Moreover, the results of this semi-concurrent method show a better agreement with experimental data, compared to the results of the model ignoring the effect of debris.

Modeling and computation of fretting wear of structures under sharp contact

This paper is concerned with the modeling and simulation of the evolution of fretting wear of interacting solids submitted to cyclic loading and possibly undergoing large mechanical transformations. A Lagrangian formalism of the virtual work principle integrating significant worn volumes from the interacting solids is given. An extension of the Archard's wear model to the large transformations framework is developed and explained. Variational large transformations Lagrangian hybrid contact wear formulations are then derived. Wear explicit and wear implicit solution methodologies are described. A delocalized Archard's law is introduced to bound the wear of a structure under a corner or an edge of contact. Further, we resort to the multimodel Arlequin framework to capture efficiently wear concentrations as well as significant material removal due to wear, while enhancing the modeling flexibility and reducing the simulation costs of wear of structures, particularly thin ones. Our global methodology is assessed by some didactic numerical tests. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

测量60Si_2Mn钢在拉扭复合载荷作用下的低周微动疲劳特性,研究了不同轴向循环拉伸应力幅值对微动疲劳寿命、循环软化特性以及摩擦磨损表面和断口形貌的影响.结果表明,随着循环拉伸应力幅值的提高,60Si_2Mn钢的微动疲劳寿命降低幅度不同,发生循环软化的时期不断提前,完成循环软化的疲劳周期也不断缩短。同时,微动摩擦副产生的氧化物磨屑对微动磨损性能有重要影响,在疲劳前期加剧摩擦磨损,在疲劳后期减轻摩擦磨损。微动疲劳裂纹源形成于试样发生微动摩擦磨损的表面,并出现疲劳台阶。在扭矩产生的切向剪切应力作用下,疲劳裂纹沿着与轴向45°角的方向扩展,最终在断口上留下显著的舌状凸起,拉应力的幅值越大舌状凸起越明显。     

Research on Metal＇s Fretting Oxidation Mode

Fretting oxidization is a main form of fretting chemical damage. In this paper, a theory analysis was proceeded for several key factors affecting this damage and one kind of fretting map based on the co-effect of those key factors were presented. By the map, not only the mode of fretting oxide can be learned better, but also it is possible to reduce fretting damage through changing working and material parameters reasonably.

Vibration analysis for failure detection in low pressure steam turbine blades in nuclear power plant

This paper presents an investigation of the failure of a low-pressure steam turbine blade in a pressurized water reactor (PWR) nuclear power plant. The dynamical behaviour of the blade is analyzed theoretically and experimentally. A three-dimensional finite element model is used to predict the blade resonances in the operational speed range. Natural frequencies and mode shapes of the blade at static condition are obtained, then natural frequencies of the blade at different rotational speeds are calculated with consideration of centrifugal force and steam flow forces. A Campbell diagram is plotted to predict the likely operational conditions that may cause resonant vibration of the blade. Vibration tests are conducted to determine the vibration characteristic of the blade. It is found that the 2nd natural frequency of the blade is very close to the 9th rotor speed harmonic. The experimental natural frequencies are in good agreement with the finite element predicted values. Fretting wear is observed at the concave root surfaces of the blade trailing edge caused by resonant vibration. The fracture surface of the cracked blade shows typical fatigue patterns. The fretting wear characteristics in the crack initiation regions are observed.Stress distribution of the blade at the 9th harmonic frequency is analyzed using an elastic-plastic finite element model. Fretting fatigue experiments indicate that the fatigue life of the blade is greatly reduced due to fretting wear. The results of the investigation show that the failure of the blade is attributed to a combination of high cycle fatigue (HCF) and fretting wear.     

微动疲劳中的应力状态参数和微动磨损参数的研究

本文对微动疲劳中的力学参数作出了研究。微动接触面上的力学参数可分为应力状态参数（SSP）和微动磨损参数（FWP）两类，并将应力状态参数综合为当量应力σ-1E,而将微动磨损参数用摩擦功W来表示．对桥式微动疲劳试件和燕尾型榫联接试件的数值分析表明，在微动接触面上疲劳断裂处的σ-1E和W值较大。因此，有可能使用了σ-1E和W值作为预测微动疲劳失效的两个基本参数。     

Fretting fatigue failure mechanism of automotive shock absorber valve

Fretting fatigue is a complex mechanical failure phenomenon, in which two contact surfaces undergo a small relative oscillatory motion due to cyclic loading. This study proposes a methodology to analyze the fretting fatigue failure mechanism of automotive shock absorber valve by means of experimental and numerical approaches. A servo hydraulic test set-up is used to simulate fretting fatigue under real working conditions. Moreover, a 3-D finite element model is developed to analyze the contact status and stress distribution at contact interface between connected components, i.e. washer-disc contact. The experimental test results depict that fretting damage appears at contact interface between washer and disc, which causes the initial crack nucleation and advancing the crack up to the final fracture of valve disc. Stress field, obtained by numerical simulation, is used to monitor some fretting fatigue features such as the distribution of relative slip amplitude, contact pressure and different stress fields at contact interfaces. Eventually, the crack initiation site is estimated by monitoring variation of equivalent multiaxial damage stress at contact interface.     

Axisymmetric fretting analysis in coated cylinder

Fretting is essentially a contact fatigue phenomenon, although bulk stresses and material properties contribute to final failure. The near surface state of stress developed under oscillatory contact between machine elements plays a major role in deciding the severity of fretting. It is possible to enhance tribological properties by coating the surface. There is rather scanty literature available on fretting analysis of coated components. Presence of such coatings has a large influence on the near surface state of stress. The effect of coatings on the severity of fretting is the focus of this paper. Results obtained for both hard and soft coatings are compared with the results obtained for the homogeneous case. The component geometry and loading are chosen to be cylindrical to enable 3D elastic axisymmetric fretting analysis. The results are compared with 2D models (strip and half-plane) to examine their utility and validity for understanding axisymmetric fretting. Contact pressure and frictional shear loading cases are solved separately and superposed appropriately depending on the coefficient of friction considered. Results for different values of coefficient of friction and elastic mismatch are illustrated through contour plots of stresses and strains. These results are expected to be helpful for identifying fretting failure zones and fracture mechanisms in coated components. Analytical results presented here could serve as useful benchmarks for calibrating numerical codes and experimental techniques.
