Abstract
The contact fatigue phenomenon in conditions of cyclic sliding or rolling is studied based on the model of contact fatigue damage accumulation in the subsurface layers of the material. It is assumed that the rate of the damage accumulation depends on the principal shear stress amplitudes. The results of numerical modelling show that the contact fatigue fracture process in the conditions of a constant load, acting on the sliding or rolling body, consists of the following stages: the incubation period, the running-in period with the alternating detachment of material’s fragments of certain thickness (the mechanism of delamination) and the surface wear, and then the steady-state stage, characterizing by the surface wear with a constant rate. The influence of the sliding friction coefficient, the relative slippage and the strength properties of contacting bodies on the evolution of the accumulated damage in the surface layers and on the fatigue wear kinetics in sliding and rolling contacts has been analyzed.
