Fretting wear is a material damage in contact surfaces due to micro relative displacement
between them. It causes some general problems in industrial applications, such as …

Wear tests involving thousands of operating cycles can be impractical and costly. Therefore,
the use of numerical methods to predict surface evolution due to wear can be a good …

The excellent wear and corrosion resistance of Co-based alloys make them desirable for
tribological applications in the nuclear industry. However, neutron activation of the Co-based …

Fretting is a special type of wear, which appears at the contact interface between two solids
subjected to constant normal load and periodic tangential forces. Although most studies on …

A computational contact algorithm is presented to solve both the normal and tangential
contact problems that describe fretting contacts between two elastic half-spaces. The …

This paper deals with modelling the effect of wear on the dynamics of the shrouded bladed
disk with frictional contacts at the shrouds and the contact interface evolution. Prediction of …

An elastic contact model for three-dimensional layered or coated materials under coupled
normal and tangential loads, with consideration of partial slip effects, has been developed in …

A semi-analytical method for the tridimensional elastic-plastic contact between two
hemispherical asperities is proposed. The first part of the paper describes the algorithm …

Mastering physical phenomena taking place in aircraft engines is a key objective for
manufacturers. Contact interfaces with dry friction in bladed-disks allows decreasing the …

Many numerical models are proposed in the literature using finite element and finite discrete
element methods to study fretting wear, barely including the effect of wear debris. These …
