N2 - The fatigue behaviour of a representative high-performance aeroengine spline coupling is investigated under test conditions designed to simulate in-service conditions. The test load cycles consist of major cycle torque and axial load, simulating maximum thrust, combined with minor cycle rotating bending moment and fluctuating torque, simulating life-limiting conditions at take-off. The objective of the study is to develop understanding of the fatigue behaviour of the coupling over a range of loading conditions, including interaction between low-cycle fatigue, fretting fatigue and fretting wear. The effect of the coefficient of friction on the fatigue life is also investigated. This information is necessary for the development of fatigue and fretting fatigue life prediction techniques. The test results are interpreted with the help of three-dimensional finite element models, which include the factional contact between the spline teeth.
