Fatigue is a classic and longstanding issue, which challenges railway axles' structural
integrity. In spite of its almost 200 years of research history, it has always been a hot topic …

Fretting fatigue is a fatigue damage process that occurs when two surfaces in contact with
each other are subjected to relative micro-slip, causing a reduced fatigue life with respect to …

Railway axles represent a typical example of interference fit structures that are vulnerable to
fretting fatigue induced by rotational bending loads. This study investigated the influence of …

Fretting fatigue is a surface damage phenomenon appearing in mechanical contacts
subjected to time variable contact forces. Typical features of fretting fatigue include: wear …

The effect of crystal orientation on fretting fatigue induced crack initiation and dislocation
distribution is studied by in-situ SEM observation and electron back-scattered diffraction …

Fretting fatigue in press-fitted axles is closely related to fretting wear. However, most studies
have been limited to the effect of fretting wear on crack initiation, neglecting the interaction …

In order to evaluate the notch fatigue strength of transition groove in railway axle, a series of
fatigue tests were conducted on small specimens and press-fitted axles containing surface …

In industrial applications, components made by Nickel-aluminum bronze (NAB) alloys are
commonly encountered by fretting corrosion. This study aims to investigate the effect of …

A finite element model, considered for the wear profile evolution of a threaded surface, is
proposed to simulate the self-loosening of bolted joints under transverse loading. The …

The latest generation of gauge-changeable trains in China feature designs with their wheels
and axles connected by spline couples and cylindrical fits. In comparison to the interference …
