— The effect of relative slip amplitude on fretting fatigue in high strength steel was studied at various contact pressures using fretting pads of various lengths. Under a given contact pressure, the fretting fatigue life showed a minimum at a certain relative slip amplitude. Under a fixed pad length, the life also showed a minimum at a certain contact pressure. A map of fretting fatigue life versus contact pressure and relative slip amplitude was obtained using the data of this study. The map indicated that both the phenomena which showed a minimum life in relation to slip dependence and contact pressure dependence were the same, as were the underlying mechanisms. The minimum life was interpreted in terms of local stress concentration at the fretted area.
