This paper is concerned with finite element modelling of microstructure-sensitive plasticity and crack initiation in fretting. The approach adopted is based on an existing method for microstructure-sensitive (uniaxial) ...

This paper is concerned with the development of a micro-mechanical methodology for prediction of fretting fatigue crack nucleation life and short crack propagation. The methodology employs critical accumulated plastic slip ...

A micro-mechanical modelling methodology is presented for predicting fretting fatigue crack nucleation in Ti–6Al–4V. The methodology is based on a combination of (i) a unit cell crystal plasticity model of Ti–6Al–4V, (ii) ...

A study on crystal and J2J2 plasticity prediction of fretting fatigue is presented, using a microstructure-sensitive fatigue parameter for crystal plasticity crack nucleation and a critical-plane (multiaxial) fatigue ...
