Abstract

The fretting wear behavior of Ti-6Al-4V is studied with the focus on cyclic plasticity effect under gross sliding condition. The analysis is simulated using finite element based method with a new surface profile model represently a given number of cycles using a cylinder-on-flat geometry. The effect of cyclic plasticity on the stresses and plastic strain distribution is studied. The maximum tangential stress is predicted at the trailing edge while the maximum compressive tangential stress is predicted at the leading edge of contact area. Plasticity in shear component is significant compare to tangential component and predicted at 0th and 3000th cycles only. It is found that important to include plasticity that remains from previous cycle for better prediction of fretting wear.
