Journal Article
Warmuth, A. R., Shipway, P. H., & Sun, W. (2015). Fretting wear mapping: the influence of contact geometry and frequency on debris formation and ejection for a steel-on-steel pair. Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 471(2178), https://doi.org/10.1098/rspa.2014.0291

This paper examines the influence of contact geometry and oscillation frequency in a steel cylinder-on-steel flat fretting contact, with contact geometry being varied via the cylinder radius. Fretting frequency did not significantly impact the wear b...
