Fretting in complete contacts - the use of Williams’ solution
Journal Title: Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale - Year 2015, Vol 9, Issue 33
Abstract
Williams’ solution may be used to characterize the corners of ‘complete’ fretting contacts. Here we look at the practicalities of conducting fretting tests using a range of different kinds of apparatus and the kind of results they can reveal of practical relevance to establishing a fretting database.

A review of thermographic techniques for damage investigation in composites
The aim of this work is a review of scientific results in the literature, related to the application of thermographic techniques to composite materials. Thermography is the analysis of the surface temperature of a...
Fatigue crack micromechanisms in a Cu-Zn-Al shape memory alloy with pseudo-elastic behavior
Shape memory property characterizes the behavior of many Ti based and Cu based alloys (SMAs). In Cu-Zn-Al SMAs, the original shape recovering is due to a bcc phase that is stable at high temperature. After an...
Estimation of fatigue lifetime for selected metallic materials under multiaxial variable amplitude loading
This paper initially investigates the accuracy of two methods, i.e., the Maximum Variance Method (MVM) and the Maximum Damage Method (MDM), in predicting the orientation of the crack initiation plane in three...
Static and fatigue experimental tests on a full scale fuselage panel and FEM analyses
A fatigue test on a full scale panel with complex loading condition and geometry configuration has been carried out using a triaxial test machine. The demonstrator is made up of two skins which are linked by a&nbs...
