... variables, including stress, strain and displacement. The contact half-width and other variables will be studied under varying contact loads at different load steps to predict fretting fatigue in terms of fatigue life, crack initiation location and crack initiation orientation. Design/methodology...

... considerations in design becomes important. Also, to determine the component's long-term tenability, fatigue behavior must be investigated. This paper aims to investigate the fatigue life of aluminum 6061-T6 alloy under uniaxial loading using experiments and finite element simulation. Design/methodology...
