In this paper, a numerical crack growth analysis is conducted using the MTS criterion and its extension, taking into account the contact stress between the crack surfaces. The focus is mainly on the influence of loading phase difference (f) on crack propagation behavior in fretting fatigue. The effect of initiation characteristics, including crack initiation position and direction, is studied using LEFM theory, and it is found that the predicted crack path and lifetime match well with experimental results.
In this paper, a numerical crack growth analysis is conducted by using the Maximum Tangential Stress (MTS) criterion and its extension, which considers the contact stress between the crack surfaces. Moreover, fretting fatigue is a multiaxial non-proportional loading problem, and most components are subjected to asynchronous loads. Therefore, this paper mostly focuses on the influence of loading phase difference (f) on the crack propagation behavior. Meanwhile, for the fretting fatigue problem, as there is a relationship between the crack initiation and propagation, the effect of initiation characteristics, including crack initiation position and direction is studied under different loading phase differences using Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM) theory. It is observed that the predicted crack path and lifetime by using the extended MTS criterion and Paris' law is in good agreement with the experimental results in the literature. It is found that the phase difference has a strong effect on the crack propagation behavior. Furthermore, we found that the crack initiation position has a greater influence on crack propagation behavior than the crack initiation direction.
