Methods for the Evaluation of the Contact Durability of Elements of the Tribojoints (A Survey)

摘要

We present a survey of the literature devoted to the models and methods aimed at the evaluation of the contact durability of elements of the tribojoints (in rolling and fretting couples) and analyze the results of investigations in the scientific directions regarded as basic for the proposed methods and including, in particular, the mechanics of fatigue fracture of cyclically contacting bodies and the contact problems of the mathematical theory of cracks. We consider the problems connected with the application of new approaches and the results of investigations of rolling contact fatigue and fretting fatigue to the prediction of the contact durability of elements of the tribojoints.
