Abstract: | In this paper the similarities between fretted and notched components in terms of stress gradient and the consequent “size effect” are discussed. Critical distance and short crack arrest approaches for the prediction of fretting fatigue thresholds are then presented and the predictions are compared with experimental results. Two geometry and alloy combinations are considered in order to validate the prediction by the means of experimental results. In particular, both Hertzian fretting tests performed on Al4%Cu alloys and experiments carried out employing ‘flat and rounded’ contact pads, made of Ti6Al4V alloy, are used for the comparison. It is shown that both criteria provide good predictive capabilities. However, the short crack arrest method is less empirical and can be adapted to a wider range of applications (e.g. surface treated components). |
