What is it about?

Wear at very small oscillating displacements is referred to as fretting wear. It dictates the life of mechanical components. This work presents an analytical model to predict fretting wear in many general mechanical components.

Why is it important?

Prediction of fretting wear is extremely important in a variety of applications like spline couplings, gears, transmissions, ball bearings, artificial joints etc

Perspectives

This work presents a general theory for prediction of fretting wear, validates the theory against past experimental works and relates it to in-house experiments on spline couplings
