Numerical modelling of the effect of fretting wear on fretting fatigue

This thesis reports the development of a method for predicting the fretting fatigue life of a system which takes into consideration the material removed as a result of fretting wear. The first implementation is based on a critical plane, multiaxial fatigue model and a damage accumulation framework....
