Summary
This paper presents an initial investigation of the numerical simulation of fretting fatigue under realistic conditions, i.e., with cyclic non-proportional loading, for the evaluation of crack initiation and crack propagation. The fretting fatigue simulation problem requires the modelling of contact, friction, stick and slip conditions, the crack initiation phase and crack propagation. Some parallelization difficulties are caused already by the non-linearities of the model, which are localised on the interfaces between components. Even more difficulties arise from the crack propagation, where the regions surrounding the tips of cracks require a much more precise treatment than the rest of the domain and therefore present a computational burden.
