Effects Of Phase Difference Between Axial And Contact Loads On Fretting Fatigue Behavior Of Titanium Alloy, Mohammad Almajali Sep 2006

Effects Of Phase Difference Between Axial And Contact Loads On Fretting Fatigue Behavior Of Titanium Alloy, Mohammad Almajali

Theses and Dissertations

Fretting fatigue is the surface damage that occurs at the interface between two components that are undergoing a small amplitude oscillatory movements. It results in a reduction of the material life as compared to the plain fatigue. Most of the previous works were accomplished under a constant applied normal load and a little effort was done under a variable contact load, while none of these studies has considered the phase difference between the axial load and the contact load. The primary goal of this study is to investigate the effect of phase difference between axial and contact loads on fretting …


Effects Of Polishing Shot-Peened Surfaces On Fretting Fatigue Behavior Of Ti-6al-4v, Kasey S. Scheel Sep 2006

Effects Of Polishing Shot-Peened Surfaces On Fretting Fatigue Behavior Of Ti-6al-4v, Kasey S. Scheel

Theses and Dissertations

The research of this thesis was done to investigate the effects of polishing a shot-peened specimen of Ti-6Al-4V on the fretting fatigue life of that specimen. The shot-peening process, though one of the most beneficial techniques in prolonging fretting fatigue life, creates a textured surface that may lead to problems on the micro level. This research was done in an attempt to further improve the peening process by examining the effects of another surface treatment to be used in conjunction, surface polishing. The rough peened surface may contain abrupt changes in surface geometry that act as stress risers, which are …


Fretting Fatigue Behavior Of Shot-Peened In 100, Jonathan L. Ng Mar 2006

Fretting Fatigue Behavior Of Shot-Peened In 100, Jonathan L. Ng

Theses and Dissertations

The fretting fatigue behavior of shot-peened of IN 100 was investigated in this study. S-N curves were obtained for two different shot-peened intensities (7A and 12A) and were compared to those of unpeened specimens. Stress relaxation behavior under fretting fatigue was also investigated after their measurements were obtained using the X-ray diffraction method. The crack initiation location and the crack angle orientation along the surface were determined using optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Cracks initiated near the trailing edge and on the contact surface for both 7A and 12A shot-peened specimens. Finite element analysis was performed using commercially available …


Fretting Fatigue Behavior Of Nickel Alloy In-100, Elhoucine Madhi Mar 2006

Fretting Fatigue Behavior Of Nickel Alloy In-100, Elhoucine Madhi

Theses and Dissertations

In this study, a systematic investigation of the fretting fatigue behavior of nickel alloy, IN-100 was carried out. The study includes both experimental work and the corresponding analysis of the contact conditions, and the latter is accomplished using the finite element method. Fretting fatigue tests were performed over a wide range of axial stresses to examine both low and high cycle fretting fatigue under constant contact load and the influence of different pad geometries was also explored. It was observed that fretting reduced the fatigue strength of IN- 100, and that increasing cylindrical pad radii does not have the same …
