Fretting is a potential degradation mechanism of structural components and equipments exposed to various environments and loading conditions. The fretting degradation, for example, for example, can be observed in equipments of nuclear, fossil as well as petroleum chemical plants exposed to special environments and loading conditions. It is well known that a cast stainless steel(CF8M) used in a primary reactor coolant(RCS) degrades seriously when that material is exposed to temperature range from 290$\^{C}$∼390$\^{C}$ for long period. This degradation can be resulted into a catastrophical failure of components. In the present paper, the characteristics of the fretting fatigue are investigated using the artificially aged CF8M specimen. The specimen of CF8M are prepared by an artificially accelerated aging technique holding 180hr at 430$\^{C}$ respectively. Through the investigations, the simple fatigue endurance limit of the virgin specimen is not altered from that obtained from the fatigue tests imposed the fretting fatigue. The similar tests are performed using the degraded specimen. The results are not changed from those of the virgin specimen. The significant effects of fretting fatigue imposed on both virgin and degraded specimen on the fatigue strength are not found.

항공기 구조는 신뢰성 보장을 위해 피로하중에 대한 수명예측이 중요한 분야로 고려되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 항공기 비행안전과 가장 밀접한 엔진 지지구조물을 대상으로 S-N 곡선과 등가응력을 이용하여 선형누적손상 이론을 적용한 피로수명 해석을 수행하였다. 내추락 하중 조건에서 정적강도 해석의 최대응력은 가위형 링크 부위에 1,080MPa를 나타내었으며, 이는 온도감소계수를 적용한 허용응력보다 약 5%의 여유를 가지고 있다. 피로하중 조건에서 최대응력은 가위형 링크 부위에 876MPa로 가장 높았으며, 이 때 응력방정식 계수도 0.019MPa/N으로 최대를 나타내었다. 피로수명 해석에 의한 안전수명은 가위형 링크 상단부에 있는 프레팅 영역이 416,667H이고, 다른 부위는 무한수명이 산출되어, 항공기 엔진 지지구조물(가위형 링크, 직선형 링크)은 피로수명 요구도를 충족하는 것으로 확인되었다.

The technique of fretting fatigue test was developed and fretting fatigue tests of A12024-T4 were conducted under several conditions. The newly developed calibration methods for measuring surface contact tractions showed good linearity and repeatability. The plate type specimen to which tow bridge type pads were attached and vision system was used to observe the crack behaviour. The oblieque cracks appeared in the early stage of crack growth and they became mode I cracks as they grow about 1 mm. The mode I transition points were found to be longer when surface tractions are higher or bulk stress is lower. Before the crack becomes mode I crack, 'well point' where crack grow about rate is minimum, was detected under every experimental condition. The crack behaviour was found to be affected by surface tractions, contact area, bulk stress. It was also found that partial slip and stick condition is most detrimental and the crack starts from the boundary of stick and slip. For gross slip crack started at the outside edge of pad. After crack mode transition, fretting fatigue cracks showed almost same behaviour of plain mode I fatigue cracks. Equivalent stress intensity factor was used to analyze the behaviour of fretting fatigue cracks and it was found that stress intensity factors can be applied to fretting fatigue cracks.

Fretting is a kind of surface degradation mechanism observed in mechanical components and structures. The fretting damage decrease in 50-70% of the plain fatigue strength. This may be observed in aircraft, automobile and nuclear power plant used in special environment and various loading conditions. In the present study, the characteristics of the fretting fatigue are investigated using the two aluminum alloy(Al2024-T3511 and Al7050-T7451). Through the experiment, it is found that the fretting fatigue strength of the Al7050-T7451 alloy decreased about 50% from the plain fatigue strength, while the fretting fatigue strength of the Al2024-T3511 alloy decreased about 45%. The tire track was widely observed in fracture surface area of oblique crack which was induced by contact pressure. These results can be the basic data to the structural integrity evaluation of aluminum alloy subjected to fretting damage.

Fatigue crack growth tests were carried out using high manganese cast steel under constant amplitude loading. Average crystal grain sizes of the material are $200{\mu}m$ and $1000{\mu}m$. For this material, ${\Delta}K_{th}$ is about $8MPa{\sqrt{m}}$ which is quiet large as compared to the general structural steels and the crack growth rate is lower than the general structural steels especilly in the low ${\Delta}K$ regsion. The reason of this behavior is crack closure due to fracture surface roughness and fretting oxide. The relationship between da/dN and the ${\Delta}K_{eq}$ was represented by narrow band regardless of the stress ratio.

Predicting the failure life of automated manufacturing systems can reduce overall downtime, maintenance costs, and total plant operation costs. Therefore, there is a growing interest in fatigue failure mechanisms as the safety or service life assessment of manufacturing systems becomes an important issue. In particular, fretting fatigue is caused by repeated tangential stresses that are generated by friction during small amplitude oscillatory movements or sliding between two surfaces pressed together in intimate contact. Previous studies in fretting fatigue have observed size effects related to contact width such that a critical contact width exists where there is drastic change in the fretting fatigue life. However, most of them are the two-dimensional finite element analyses based on the plane strain assumption. The purpose of this study is to investigate the contact size effects on the three-dimensional finite element model of a finite width of a flat specimen and a cylindrical pad exposed to fretting fatigue. The contact size effects were analyzed by means of the stress and strain averages at the element integration points of three-dimensional finite element model. This study shows that the fretting fatigue life of manufacturing systems can be predicted by three-dimensional finite element analysis based on SWT critical plane model.

Fretting is a kind of surface degradation mechanism observed in mechanical components and structures. The fretting damage decreases in 50-70% of the plain fatigue strength. This may be observed in the fossil power plant and the nuclear power plant used in special environments and various loading conditions. The thermal degradation of material is observed when the heat resisting steel is exposed for long period time at the high temperature. In the present study, the degraded 1Cr-0.5Mo steel used for long period time at high temperature (about 515$^{\circ}C$) and artificially reheat-treated materials are prepared. These materials are used for evaluating an effect of thermal aging on the fretting fatigue behavior. Through the experiment, it is found that the fretting fatigue endurance limit of the reheat-treated 1Cr-0.5Mo steel decreased about 46% from the non-fretting fatigue endurance limit, while the fretting fatigue endurance limit of the degraded 1Cr-0.5Mo steel decreased about 53% from the non-fretting fatigue endurance limit. The maximum value of fatigue endurance limit difference is observed as 57%(244 MPa) between the fretting fatigue of degraded material and non-fretting fatigue of reheat-treated material. These results can be a basic data to a structural integrity evaluation of heat resisting steel considered to thermal degradation effect.

Fretting fatigue behavior of SCM420 steel commonly used in the automotive industry for structural applications was investigated in this study. In addition, the effect of bridge pad on the fretting fatigue test was evaluated from different pad materials and following conclusions were drawn. Simple fatigue limit of SCM 420 steel was determined to be 350 MPa while this value was 225 MPa and 285.5 MPa with SCM420H and with SM45C pad, respectively. Reduction in fatigue limit was, thus found to be 35.7% and 17.9% with SCM 420H pad and SM45C pad, respectively. Results of fracture surface observation revealed that typical striation pattern of fatigue failure existed as well as dimpled and cleavage frature appearance was found in final fractured region. From the EDS compositional analysis, test sample and pad part all had high signals for oxygen and iron, suggesting that worn particles might be iron oxide, although exact chemical composition has to be confirmed. Considerable reduction in fatigue life was apparent in SCM 420 steel under fretting fatigue against simple fatigue. Such reduced fatigue life by fretting damage should be considered as an important factor not only in the viewpoint of repairing but also inevitably in the design stage of structural components.
