摘要

In this investigation, the fretting wear phenomenon was investigated experimentally and analytically. For the analytical investigation, a combined finite discrete element model (FDEM) was developed to study the effects of displacement amplitude and normal force on fretting wear. The FDEM was used to investigate the wear of a fretting Hertzian line contact calculated using the Archard and dissipated energy wear theories. Although the FDEM results from each theory were in agreement, the dissipated energy approach more accurately predicted the wear volumes obtained from experimental measurements. A fretting wear test rig (FWTR) was used to verify and corroborate the results and conclusions of the numerical investigation. The results indicated that the dissipated energy equation better describes wear in fretting contacts than the Archard equation. An energy dissipation rate map was developed from the experimental results, showing the effect of normal force and displacement amplitude on frictional energy loss. The energy dissipation rate map was used to create a steady-state fretting wear map.
