Effect of contact geometry, loading, material properties and relative slip on the fretting fatigue behaviour of metallic components by Andrea Zanichelli, Andrea Carpinteri, Camilla Ronchei, Daniela Scorza

“…The results obtained through the proposed methodology demonstrate good agreement with the experimental observations in terms of both fatigue life and crack propagation direction. Furthermore, a parametric analysis is carried out to assess the role of different parameters in influencing the fretting fatigue behaviour, providing valuable insights into their effects on crack orientation and component durability.…”
