Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fretting wear occurs when two surfaces are subjected to vibration with a small oscillatory relative motion. This phenomenon is considered a plague in many modern industrial applications, such as the transportation, energy and biomedical sectors, and can cause loss of functionality or initiate fatigue leading to catastrophic failures. Specific cases include but are not limited to riveted and bolted joints, dovetail joints, shrink-fitted couplings, wire ropes, bearing rings, flexible pipes, turbine blades, electrical connections and prosthetic implants.
This Special Issue intends to share advances in the understanding of the damage mechanisms, specific phenomena, improved mitigation and other novel aspects in the field of fretting wear and fretting fatigue. Both experimental and theoretical investigations are welcome.
