In general, fretting is a contact damage process due to micro-slip associated with small amplitude oscillatory movement between two surfaces in contact. Previous studies in fretting fatigue have observed a contact size effect related to contact width. The volume-averaging method of theoretically predicted contact stress fields was required to emulate experimental trends and to predict the observed contact size effects. This contact size effect is captured by the mean values of stresses and strains at the element integration points of FE model and two critical plane models (SWT, FS) in the present paper. It is shown that crack nucleation and fretting fatigue life can be predicted by the FE-based critical plane models.

A cam ring gear (CRG) system based on a hypotrochoid curve consists of a pinion with roller teeth and its conjugated internal CRG. In this study, we investigated contact forces, contact stresses, and load stress factors to predict the surface pitting life using an exact CRG profile by introducing the profile modification coefficient. The results show that the pitting life can be extended significantly by increasing the profile modification coefficient without any other change of parameters in the CRG system.

Characteristics of high frequency induction- hardened bearing steel have been investigated using 0.55wt.% C-1.68wt.% Mn specimens produced by vacuum induction melting (VIM). The K4 value in DIN 57602 of the specimens was assessed to be 6.41, high level of cleanliness. The specimens were high frequency induction-hardened to form heterogeneous submicron- lath martensite in the surface hardened layer with about 2.5mm in effective depth. Rolling contact fatigue tests were conducted in elasto-hydrodynamic lubricating conditions under a maximum Hertzian contact stress of$ 492kgmm^{-2}$ . It was found that microhardness in the subsurface, up to about $500\mu\textrm{m}$ in depth, below the raceway of rolling contact fatigued specimens was increased in comparison with that of induction-hardened layers. The depth of maximum microhardness- increased region was about $100\mu\textrm{m}$ from surface, showing white etching area. Crack initiation and propagation in the white etching area below the raceway of rolling contact fatigued specimens were observed.

Recently, Luu suggested fatigue life equation that uses every term of the Crossland equation with stress gradient effect. Luu’s model, however, has a limit of being unable to coverage small radii that are less than a specified length. Furthermore, rolling model has a very small contact area compared to the rolling element size, and fatigue failure occurs on the small radius such as surface asperity by cyclic loading. Therefore, it is necessary to modify fatigue life equation in order to enable fatigue analysis for a small radius. In this paper, the fatigue life considering a stress gradient effect in rolling contact was obtained using Luu’s modified equation. Fatigue analysis was performed to study the effect of stress gradient on the fatigue life using newly adopted equation and to compare the results with pervious models. In order to do this, a series of simulation such as surface stress analysis, subsurface stress analysis, and fatigue analysis are conducted for two rolling balls of same size that contact each other. Through such a series of processes, the fatigue life can be calculated and equation that is proposed in this paper evaluates the fatigue life in case the contact area is small.

본 논문에서는 비닐절연코드의 기계적 피로에 의한 소손패턴과 화재위험성에 대하여 실험, 분석하였다. 비닐절연코드는 2중의 절연피복으로 되어 있으며 도체는 여러 가닥의 소손들로 구성되어 있다. 비닐코드는 반복적인 구부림이나 인장등 기계적 피로에 의해 피복 내 도체가 손상을 입게 되며 전기가 흐르고 있는 상태에서 끊어진 소선들이 접촉과 끊어짐을 반복함으로써 아크와 열이 발생하며 이때 발생한 마크와 열에 의해 피복이 탄화되어 결국에는 착화됨을 볼 수 있었다. 이러한 기계적 피로에 의한 국부 발열과 화재 예방을 위한 기술개발이 필요한 것으로 사료된다.

실감 통신의 구현을 위해서는 의사 소통 상대자가 서로 얼굴을 맞대고 이야기하는 것과 같은 분위기를 통신 단말을 통해 구현이 가능해야 하며, 상대방과의 상호작용도 가능해야 한다. 이러한 통신단말을 구현하기 위한 기본 조건은 연속시차에 기반한 눈에 피로감을 주지 않는 3차원 영상과 이들 영상과 접촉 및 분위기 전달이 가능한 감성 및 오감 수수 기술의 개발에 의해서만 충족된다. 이들 감성 및 오감 수수가 가능하기 위해서는 단말 자체가 디스플레이에 다수의 센서를 융합시킨 다 기능 융합미디어의 역할을 해야 하며 눈에 피로감과 시청자의 자세제한을 요구하지 않는 3차원 영상이 이 디스플레이를 통해 표시되어야한다.

Recently, a lot of work and interest has been devoted to the development of multiaxial fatigue parameters for fretting fatigue life prediction. Many of these parameters have been reviewed in the literature for simple geometries like a cylinder-on-flat contact configuration. The purpose of this study was to estimate fretting fatigue life using critical plane approach which is one of the multiaxial fatigue theories.
