Abstract

The prediction of fretting wear and fretting fatigue is a significant issue for the design of high-performance aeroengine spline couplings, due to the potential for slip between the highly-loaded spline teeth under cyclic loads. The work reported here builds on previous work on simpler (Hertzian) laboratory test configurations to take a step towards a unified fretting wear and fatigue modelling approach, which considers the evolution of contact geometry with material removal and consequently the changes in fatigue-pertinent subsurface stresses, The approach calculates the local wear, that it is the wear at each contact node, as a function of local contact pressure and local slip. The influence of wear damage on fretting fatigue behaviour is quantitatively assessed by computing the change of a shear strain based fatigue damage parameter, i.e. the critical-plane Fatemi-Socie parameter. The application of the simulation tool to the complex geometry of a helical spline coupling is discussed.
