    A computational contact algorithm is presented to solve both the normal and tangential contact prob-

    lems that describe fretting contacts between two elastic half-spaces. The coupling between the normal

    and tangential contact problems can or not be taken into account. Nevertheless the coupling should

    be introduced when materials are dissimilar. Fast and efficient methods are used. The contact solver is

    based on a conjugate gradient method and acceleration techniques based on the Fast Fourier transforms

    (FFT) are employed. Very good agreements are found with analytical solutions of three fretting exam-

    ples representing each fretting mode. However it is shown that these analytical solutions are based on

    approximations that can be too strong when materials are dissimilar.

    1. Introduction

    Fretting is a phenomenon that occurs when two contacting sur-

    faces are submitted to an oscillating displacement, small and often

    tangential. Numerous industrial applications are concerned with

    fretting which is amongst the most critical surface damage phe-

    nomenon. For instance, fretting occurs in mechanical joints (spline

    joints, axial joints, blade-disk dovetail joints, rivets. . .), cables andflex ducts. Fretting is therefore connected with multiple industries.

    To study fretting and its damages which are fatigue and wear, one

    should solve the state of stress in the contact surface and in the

    bulk. This is the aim of the contact mechanics area. Many physical

    parameters intervene in a fretting contact. For instance Ambrico

    and Begley [1,2] have highlighted the role of macroscopic plas-

    tic deformation in fretting fatigue life predictions. Because plastic

    deformation produced by fretting occurs over subsurface distancescomparable to the grain size, Goh et al. [3] took into account

    the discrete grains and their crystallographic orientation distribu-

    tion. However this paper will focus on purely elastic analysis that

    remains available in several contacts.

    Contact mechanics have been initiated with a famous paper of

    Heinrich Hertz [4]. The paper introduced what is now defined as

    the solution of a hertzian contact. Hertz considered the contact of

    two elastic bodies submitted to a normal static load. A hypoth-

    esis on the surfaces geometry was stated: they are analogous to

    semi-ellipsoids and non-conforming. The contact initiates there-

    forethrougha single point (spherical or ellipsoidal contact)or along

    a line (cylindrical contact). The hertzian theory is based upon the

    following hypotheses:

    - The contact zone is elliptical;

    - The contact is frictionless;

    - The elastic half-space body description is used.

    The last point is important because it allows using an important

    part of theelasticity theorydeveloped in case of elastic half-spaces.

    Elastic half-space hypothesis can be used if the next conditions are

    fulfilled:

    - Thecontact zone issmallin regardof thedimensionof both bodies

    in contact. It permits to know that stresses areconcentrated close

    to the contact area and are not influenced by distant limit condi-

    tions. Dealing with non-conforming surfaces permits to validate

    this condition.

    - Curvature radii should be much greater than the contact dimen-

    sions to validate the previous condition. It implies also that the

    surface slope is small and close to a flat plane and it avoids high

    pressure peakswhichare not compatible withthe linear elasticity

    theory.

    Many contact problems canbe solved with the help of the Hertz

    theory in order to obtain the surface stress distribution and subse-

    quent bulk stress and strain states. However when a contact does

    not fulfill the Hertz assumptions, the analytical solution may differ

    significantly from the real one. Many researchers have proposed

    additional analytical solutions for a variety of other elementary

    problems, such as the indentation of a half-space by a rigid wedge

    or a flatpunch. A remarkable surveyof differentcontactmechanics

    solutions is given by Johnson [5]. The elastic half-space theory is

    still used for most of these solutions. Most of them are 2D prob-

    lems. Some solutions exist also for 3D problems but usually with

    a symmetry of revolution. These solutions have been found from

    the singular integral equation solution [6,7] or the integral trans-

    form (i.e. Fourier transforms) methods [8]. When surfaces cannot

    be longer considered as smooth, one may use the solutions given

    by Westergaard [9] in the case of sinusoidal surfaces or the statisti-

    cal method proposed by Greenwood and Williamson [10] for ideal

    rough surfaces with spherical asperity tips. The effect of an elastic

    coating [11], inhomogeneous half-space [12] or the elastic-plastic

    indentation of a half-space by a conical, a spherical or a pyramidal

    indenter [5] have also beenthe subject of manyinvestigations.Ana-

    lytical solutions for frictional contact have also been established.

    Most of them assume a uniform Coulomb friction coefficient. They

    are given for sliding contact by McEwen [13] for cylindrical con-tact, by Hamilton and Goodman [14] for spherical contact and by

    Sackfield and Hills [15] for elliptical contact. Another important

    problem independently solved by Cattaneo [16] and Mindlin [17]

    is the spherical contact submitted to stick-slip behavior. This situ-

    ation happens when the tangential load is lower than the product

    between the normal load and the friction coefficient. Globally the

    contact is sticking, but to respect the Coulomb friction lawover the

    entire contact interface, a slipping annulus appears at the periph-

    ery of the contact zone. The CattaneoMindlin problem has been

    recently generalized for any 2D-geometry by Ciavarella [18,19].

    Another example is 2D complete fretting contact solutions that

    were obtained through an asymptotic analysis and with an equiv-

    alent V-notch plain fatigue specimen by Mugadu and Hills [20].

    Numerous analytical solutions exist, however it could be diffi-cult sometimes to find the analytical solution that matches a given

    engineering problem. Numerical methods are more convenient.

    The finite elements analysis is the most developed and most used

    method in solid mechanics. However the analysis of real contacts

    requires a fine mesh of the volume surrounding thecontactzone to

    getaccurate results,leadingto importantcomputingcosts.An alter-

    nativeis the useof whatis calledthe semi-analytical method (SAM)

    which consists of a numerical summation of elementary solutions

    in a contact solver scheme. Bentall and Johnson [21] and Paul and

    Hashemi [22] werethe first to introducethese methods.Kalker [23]

    gave a mathematical formulation of this method and proposed an

    algorithm for its resolution. The interesting point of such a method

    is that acceleration techniques can be used. The Multigrid method

    [24,25] and the fast Fourier transforms method [2629] have tobe mentioned. Using such acceleration techniques computations

    are now fast enough to perform numerical simulation for elastic

    rough contact normally loaded. Recent developments in the liter-

    ature include the introduction of a thermo-elastic behavior [30],

    the effect of coatings [31,32], elastic-plastic behavior and thermo-

    elastic-plastic behavior [3339].

    This paper deals with a contact model to simulate fretting. Pre-

    vious papers have been presented by the authors to compute the

    fretting contact problem [4042]. Computations were fast enough

    to proceed wear simulations. Indeed wear predictions are usually

    obtained through iterative contact computations where the con-

    tact geometry is updated to take into account its change due to

    wear. Fretting wear predictions have been highlighted under gross

    slip regime in a first paper [40] where only the normal contact

    Fig. 1. Three different fretting modes depending on the forces and moments trans-

    mitted through the contact. Slips are transversal in fretting mode I; slips are radial

    in fretting mode II; slips are circumferential in fretting mode III.

    problem was needed to solve. The additional tangential contact

    problem was later added [41], and fretting wear predictions under

    partial slip regime were possible. Simulations were done on clas-

    sical contact geometries, but extension to an industrial application

    was proved through fretting wear simulations on dovetail joints

    between fan blades and turbine engine disk [42]. Whilst previous

    papers focused on wearpredictions,the current paperpresents firstin detail thealgorithm developedto solvethe normal andtangential

    contact problem by the semi-analytical method. Whereas normal

    contact algorithms are frequent in the literature, tangential contact

    has been less studied. The second point is the coupling between

    normal and tangential effects in stick/slip contact problem. Indeed

    most analytical results concerning tangential contacts are given in

    the case of uncoupled normal and tangential problems. It is not

    longer the case when the elastic properties of the contacting bod-

    ies are different, as highlighted in the present study. Finally, since

    each component of the force and moment transmitted through the

    contact can be considered, the model is able to simulate the three

    different fretting modes that have been defined in the literature

    [43], as schematically shown in Fig. 1.

    2. Contact model

    2.1. The basics

    The fretting contact model is built from the two classical

    equation sets that define the normal and the tangential contact

    problems. Let consider two bodies defined by their surface equa-

    tions in the Cartesian coordinate frame (Oxyz):

    z1 = f1(x,y)z2 = f2(x,y)

    . (1)

    Each body is assumed to behave as an elastic half-space, the

    plane Oxy being the free surface. They are submitted to rigid body

    displacements, cf. Fig. 2, resulting in a distribution of contact pres-sure and shear stress at the interface between the two bodies.

    Summation of these stresses gives the global forces and moments

    transmitted through the contact, cf. Fig. 3. The contact area C isnot known in advance. The normal contact problem, cf. Fig. 4, is

    described on a potential contact area G such as C G at timet. Inside the contact area, the gap is nil and the contact pressure

    p is positive whereas outside the contact area the pressure is nil

    and the gap positive. The definition of gap g includes the initial

    body separation h(x,y)=f1(x,y) f2(x,y), the surface elastic deflec-tions uz(x,y) = uz1(x,y) + uz2(x,y) andthe rigid bodydisplacementz = z1 + z2. Thenormal load balance equation is usually added,Pbeing the normal load imposed to the contact. To take into account

    the flexion moments Mx and My in the contact, rigid body rotations

    are added. These angles x and y are small and are included in the

    is the tangential load applied to thecontact.

    Mz is the torsion moment in the contact, which corresponds to a

    small tangential rotation z also considered when computing localslips. The term introduces the variation between time t 1 andt, for example tT = tT

    t1T . Note that the tangential contact

    problem cannot be written independently of the history. Finally

    the equation set is:

    Both problems could be solved in terms of unknown elastic

    deflections or in terms of constraints, the later being chosen here.

    To solve the problem, a discretization is required. Each point of

    a regular grid area is associated to a centered rectangular surface

    of dimensions a and b along the x and y directions, respectively.

    It corresponds also to the distance between two adjacent points

    of the grid. The pressure p and tractions q are assumed uniformover each rectangular surface element because the Newman con-

    ditions apply on the half-space, i.e. the boundary conditions in

    terms of displacements are nil at the infinite, the theory of poten-

    tials is used. Results are given by Boussinesq [44] and Cerutti [45]

    who used this theory to formulate stresses and strains of an elas-

    tic half-space. Love [46] extended this approach to a constant

    load on a rectangular patch at the surface of an infinite elas-

    where Kare the influence coefficients that are function of the elas-

    tic constants E1, E2, 1, 2 and the distance between the loaded

    point and the point where the deflection is computed. The grid size

    is N= Nx Ny. The computation cost of each double summation inEq. (4) is O(N2) , which could become very large if a fine mesh is

    used. To reduce computation times, acceleration techniques are

    used. These double summations are equivalent to discrete con-

    volution products. Liu et al. [29] developed the DC-FFT (Discrete

    Convolution and Fast Fourier Transforms) to accelerate compu-

    tations and reduce the computation cost to O(NlogN). FFT were

    used by several authors, but Liu et al. has clarified the technique

    avoiding computational errors that compelled to extend five oreight times the computational grid (i.e. the potential contact area)

    towards the contact area. With Lius DC-FFT technique, the com-

    putation grid should be extended only two times. The reader could

    refer to [29] to obtain more information about the way to obtain

    the influence coefficients and how to extent the problem to coated

    elastic half-spaces [31]. These formulae highlight a second impor-

    tant point which is the coupling between the normal and the

    tangential problems that could occur, depending on the material

    and geometrical asymmetry of the problem. For example when

    an elastic body is pressed against a rigid one, the contact pres-

    sure at a given point produces a tangential displacement at any

    point of the elastic surface in addition to the normal one. The

    degree of coupling is function of the elastic constants. When the

    elastic constants are equals, i.e. E1 =E2 and 1=

    2, the influencecoefficients Kqxz , Kqyz , Kpx and Kpy are equals to zero. Dundurs andLee [47] established an eponym constant that permits to char-

    acterize that degree of coupling: =

    12

    (121)/G1(122/G2)

    (11/G1+(12)/G2)

    .

    The coupling is nil in the case of bodies with identical elas-

    tic properties but also for two incompressible materials (1 =2 = 0.5). The extreme values are 0.5 that are reached whenone body is rigid and the other elastic with a Poisson ratio

    nil.

    The contact equations that have been presented can be

    expressed under a global form through a variational formula-

    tion, as introduced by Duvaut and Lions [48] in the mechanical

    field. They studied and proved the existence and uniqueness

    of the contact problem solution. Kalker and Van Randen [49]

    and Kalker [23] resumed this work rewriting the formulae withthe elastic half-space hypotheses. It consists to minimize the

    complementary contact energy under constraints, i.e. the con-

    tact pressure should remain positive and the tangential traction

    is limited by the contact pressure times the Coulomb friction

    coefficient.

    are the matrixes constructed from the influence coefficients, for

    example upz = Apz p. The set of equations (6) is a constrained opti-

    mization problem. The inequality constraints require employing

    the Lagrange multipliers and solving the Karush, Khun and Tucker

    optimality conditions. To solve theproblema differentiation is done

    with respect to p and q. The Panagiotopoulos [50] method will

    be used, i.e. the normal and tangential problems will be solved

    separately. When the Dundurs constant is nil, the normal and the

    tangential problems can be solved independently, otherwise the

    normal and the tangential problems should be solved successively

    several times until convergence.

    Presumably in fretting problems, dynamic stick-slip effects

    must occur, with a reduction in frictional forces once sliding has

    been initiated. It is also well known that thefrictioncoefficient may

    change within the contact conjunction depending on how wear

    debris remain or not entrapped. In the numerical investigations

    presented later in the paper a constant and uniform Coulomb fric-

    tion coefficientis assumed for purpose of comparison with analyti-

    cal solutions. However the model should hold for non-uniform and

    non-constant friction coefficient. This point is left to future work.

    2.2. The normal contact problem

    To solve a general constrained minimization problem:min

    x n((x)), ci(x) 0, i I, a Lagrangian formulation is written:

    L(x, ) = (x) i I

    ici(x), where i are the Lagrange multipliers.

    The differentiation of the Lagrangian formulation and the Karush

    Kuhn and Tucker optimality conditions leads to:

    xL(x, ) = 0, (7)ci(x) > 0, i = 0, (8)

    ci(x) = 0, i 0. (9)

    When the constraint ci has a linear form, i.e. aTi

    x = bi, the problemis known as a quadratic optimization problem.

    The complementary energy is written removing the constantterms that do not depend on p and that will disappear after differ-

    entiation:

    min (p) =

    pT

    1

    2Apz p +

    2Aqxz qx +

    px +

    1

    2qTyA

    py

    p

    , pij 0, (i, j) P

    (10)

    Because of thesymmetryproperties of theinfluencecoefficients,

    i.e. Kpx = Kqxz and Kpy = Kqyz , it yields:

    min

    (p) = pT

    1

    2A

    pz p +Aqxz qx +Aqyz qy + h

    , pij 0, (i, j) P

    (11)

    By applying the Lagrangian method to the normal problem

    where the constraint is linear:

    p

    pT 1

    2A

    pz p +Aqxz qx +Aqyz qy + h

    (i,j) p

    ijpij

    =Apz p +Aqxz qx +Aqyz qy + h = 0,

    (12)

    pij > 0, ij = 0, (i, j) c (13)

    pij = 0, ij 0, (i, j) / c. (14)

    The Lagrange multipliers ij are here the gap gij. The normalcontact set of equations is therefore obtained. Several methods can

    be used to minimize the quadratic form. Polonsky and Keer [51]

    used a contact algorithm based on the conjugate gradient method

    (CGM). The choice of the conjugate gradient method is based on its

    efficiency in terms of storage: the methodis iterative; and in terms

    of rapidity:the rate of convergence is superlinear.For more details,

    the reader may refer to the Polonskys paper or alternatively to a

    review paper on contact algorithms by Allwood [52].

    The Polonskys contact algorithm deals with the normal contact

    subjected to a normal load. An extension is given here by taking

    into account (i)either a normal load or a normalrigiddisplacement

    z, and (ii) the flexion moments transmitted through the contact(i.e. the application point of the normal force is not centered in the

    contactarea). c is the contact area,which is not knownin advance.Polonsky minimized the complementary energy on the active set

    c, i.e. on the current contact area that evolves duringthe iterativeprocess until convergence to the real contact area c:

    min

    (p) = pT

    1

    2A

    pz p +Aqxz qx +Aqyz qy + h

    , (i, j) c (15)

    During the iterative process, the Lagrange multipliers are com-

    puted and the complementary conditions are checked. It means

    that a newgap is obtained after each iteration, andthe contact con-

    ditions are checked to add or remove a point in the current contact

    area c. A difficulty is thattheterm h* contains the rigid body dis-placement z which is unknown in the case of an imposed normalload. To linearize the problem, Polonsky avoided inserting the nor-

    mal load balance equation into the set of equations to solve andavoided also adding an outer loop to solve the balance equation.

    The trick was to force the normal load balance during the iterative

    process while the rigid body displacement is approximated at each

    iteration. When the rigid normal displacement is imposed the nor-

    mal load balance is no longer enforced. To take into account the

    flexion moment balance equations, an equivalent method is used.

    The normal contact algorithm can be described as follows (Fig. 6):

    0. p is initialized. It should verify the normal load and the flexionmoment balance equations if imposed. The entire potential con-

    tact area is supposed in contact: c p and ij =0. A variable

    z are computed with the DC-FFT

    technique.

    1. upz is computed with the DC-FFT technique. If the normal load

    is imposed and/or if the flexion moments are imposed, the rigid

    body displacement z and/or the rigid body rotations x and yare approximated.

    2. The gap is computed: gij = upzij + hij

    , (i, j) P. For the points(i, j) C, gij are the residue of the linear system to solve. They

    are also the Lagrange multipliers.3. The conjugate gradient descent direction d is obtained with theresidue and the previous descent direction:

    dij gij + G/Golddij, (i, j) C,dij 0, (i, j) C,withG =

    (i,j)

    C

    g2ij .(16)

    Then the value ofG is store in Gold and is reinitialized to 1.4. The DC-FFT technique is applied to the descent direction:

    rpz = Apz d. (17)

    Then the descent step is obtained:

    =

    (i,j) Cg2ij

    (i,j) C

    dijrij.

    5. The pressure values are updated:

    pij pij + dij, (i, j) C. (18)

    6. The complementary conditions are checked and enforced:

    ifpij < 0, (i, j) C, thenpij 0, C C/(i, j), (19)

    ifgij = ij < 0, (i, j) / C, thenpij gij, 0, C C (i, j).

    (20)

    7. If neededthe balance equations are enforced.The followingcon-vergence criterion is tested:

    =

    (i,j) Ppij poldij(i,j) Ppij

    . (21)

    The pressure values are memorized: pij pold ij.In step 1, the approximation of the rigid body displacements is

    based on the gap definition in the contact zone: gij = upzij + uqx

    zij+

    uqyzij

    + hij z yij x +xij y = 0. By summation over the contactarea the three following equations arise:

    (i,j) cup

    zij+ uqx

    zij+ uqy

    zij+ hij z yij x xij y = 0, (22)

    (i,j) c

    (upzij

    + uqxzij

    + uqyzij

    + hij z yij x xij y)/xij = 0, (23)

    (i,j) c

    (upzij

    + uqxzij

    + uqyzij

    + hij z yij x xij y)/yij = 0. (24)

    If the three equations are written on the current contact zone

    C

    , an estimation of the unknown rigid body displacements canbedone. It consists therefore to solve the matrix system:

    Cxi

    Cyj

    zij

    +hij)/yj

    . (25)

    Part or totality of the system is solved depending on what body

    displacements are needed. In step 7 the balance equations are

    enforced. The contact pressures are corrected by a linear func-

    tion: pij pold ij(a + b xi + c yj). Constant a is sought if the normalload balance is enforced, b and c if the flexion moment balance is

    enforced. Finally it consists to solve part or totality of the following

    matrix system:

    CpijS CpijxiS CpijyjS

    CpijxiS

    Cpijxi2S

    CpijxiyjS

    My = PxpMx = Pyp

    .

    (26)

    The role of variable is to reinitialize the conjugate gradientdirection when nil. It occurs at step 5 when the complementary

    conditions are checked. When the gap of a point that was not in

    the current contact zone at the previous iteration becomes nega-

    tive, then this point is added in the current contact area and the

    conjugate gradient method is reinitialized for the next iteration.

    2.3. The tangential contact problem

    The tangential contact problem will be solved with an equiva-

    lent method. Theform to minimize from a differentiationofq is thefollowing:

    min

    (q) = qTx

    1

    2A

    qxx qx +Apx p +Aqyx qy +Wx

    +qTy

    1

    2A

    qyy qy +Apyp +Aqxy qx +Wy

    ,qij pij, (i, j) c

    (27)

    The constraint which is not linear in this case can also be written

    as:q2x +q2y

    2P p2 0.

    Therefore applying the Lagrangian method leads to:

    min

    (q) = qTx

    xij< pij, ij = 0, (i, j) ST, (29)

    q2xij

    + q2xij

    = pij, ij 0, (i, j) SL. (30)This setof equationsis equivalent to Eq.(3), where the Lagrange

    multipliers are now the slip amplitudes. The problem is non-linear

    because W* contains unknowns which are the tangential bodydisplacements x, y, z and the Lagrange multipliers thatare unknowns. The methodology presented for the normal contact

    problem will be applied here for the tangential contact problem.

    The problem can be solved taking into account (i) the tangential

    loads Qx and Qy or the tangential rigid displacements x and y, and(ii) the torsion moment transmitted in the contact Mz. The trick to

    linearizethe equation systemis to force thetangentialload balance

    andthe torsion moment balance using an estimation of the respec-

    tive rigid body displacements. To linearize the system respectively

    to the Lagrange multipliers that are unknown, an estimation of

    .

    Finally the tangential contact algorithm can be describedas follows

    (Fig. 7):

    0. q is initialized. It should verify the tangential loadand the torsion

    momentbalance equations if imposed. Theentire contact area isfirst assumed sticking: ST C, SL = ,and ij =0. A variablecalled is set to 0. upx and u

    py are computed with the DC-FFT

    technique.

    1. uqx

    x , uqy

    x , uqx

    y and uqy

    y are computed with the DC-FFT technique.

    If the tangential load is imposed and/or if the torsion moment is

    imposed, the rigid body displacement x, y and/or the rigidbody rotation z are approximated.

    2. The slip is computed:

    sij = utTij T, (i, j) C (31)

    3. The Lagrange multipliers are obtained from the norm of the slip

    in the current slip zone:

    ij= sij sgn(sij qij), (i, j) SL (32)

    4. The complementary conditions on the Lagrange multipliers are

    checked:

    ifij < 0, (i, j) / SL, then 0, ST ST (i, j). (33)

    The calculus of the error that quantifies the non-colinearity

    between the shear and slip vectors is done in the current slip

    zone:

    sl = (i,j) Psij + ij(qij/pij)(i,j) Pij

    . (34)

    5. The conjugate gradient descent direction d is obtained with theresidue and the previous descent direction:

    dij sij + G/Golddij, (i, j) ST,

    dij

    sij + ijqij

    pij

    + G/Golddij, (i, j) SL,

    with G =

    (i,j) C

    sij + ij

    qijpij

    sij + ijqij

    pij

    .

    (35)

    Then the value ofG is stored in Gold and is reinitialized to 1.6. The DC-FFT technique is applied to the descent direction:

    r =

    rxry

    =

    Aqx

    x Aqy

    x

    Aqx

    y Aqy

    y

    dxdy

    ,

    then

    rij rij + ijdij/

    pij

    . (36)

    Then the descent step is obtained:

    =

    (i,j) C(sij + ij(qij/pij)) (sij + ij(qij/pij))

    (i,j) Cdij rij

    . (37)

    7. The shear values are updated:

    qij qij + dij, (i, j) C. (38)8. The complementary conditions on shears are checked and

    enforced:

    ifqij pij, (i, j) ST,

    thenpij 0, SL SL (i, j), = 0, qij pij(qij/qij). (39)

    9. If neededthe balance equationsare enforced. Thefollowing con-

    vergence criterion is tested:

    =

    (i,j) C

    (qxij qxoldij)2 + (qxij qxoldij)2

    (i,j) C

    q2

    xij+ q2

    yij

    . (40)

    The shear values are then memorized: qij qold ij.In step 1 the rigid body displacement estimation is based on the

    slip definition in the contact zone:

    sij +ij

    pij

    qxijqyij

    =

    Part or totality of the system is solved depending on what body

    displacements are needed. In step 9 the balance equations are

    enforced. The contact shears are corrected in the current stick

    zone ST with a linear function: qxij qxij + a c yj and qyij qyij + b + c xi. Constants a and b are sought if the tangential loadbalance is enforced, c if the torsion moment balance is enforced.

    Finally it consists to solve part or totality of the matrix system:

    The role of variable is to reinitialize the conjugate gradient direc-tion when nil. It occurs at steps 5 and 8 when the complementary

    conditions are checked. When a point progresses from stick to slip

    conditionor conversely, the conjugate gradient method is reinitial-

    ized for the next iteration.

    3. Fretting mode I

    This first fretting mode, which is also the most studied starting

    from Cattaneo [16] and Mindlin [17], corresponds to transversal

    slips. The problem is an example of fretting mode I. Two elastic

    bodies are brought into contact with a normal load P. A force tan-gential to the contact surface is then applied. A tangential force

    along the x direction is considered here. Accordingly to Coulomb

    this tangential load is limited by the normal load times the friction

    coefficient, i.e. Qx

    slips and elastic deflections along the y direction are neglected

    (or assumed nil). To illustrate this point, the angle between the

    x direction and the slip direction obtained in case I.2 is plotted in

    Fig. 9.

    Pressure, shears and slips are plotted in Figs. 10 and 11. Obvi-

    ously the analytical solutions and the numerical ones found in

    simulation I.1 are found equivalent. Simulation I.2 exhibits some

    differences in terms of shear distributions that are however quite

    close to the (approximated) analytical solution. Large differences

    appear in caseI.3 comparedto theanalyticalsolutionwith an equiv-

    alent Young modulus, outlining the fact that the CattaneoMindlin

    solution should be no more considered as valid when the Dundurs

    constant is not nil. A helpful mean to illustrate the main differences

    It highlights that the CattaneoMindlin assumption, which is that the y component

    of the slips and shears are nil, is a quite strong assumption.

    between these three configurations is to plot thestreamlinesof the

    shear vectors, see Fig. 12.

    The fretting loop can be obtained through the rigid body dis-

    placement, cf. Fig. 13. Case I.3 gives a different fretting loop. It can

    be observed that points A and E of the loading path are not super-

    imposed on the fretting loop, outlining a slip ratcheting behavior. In

    addition after one unloading-loading the tangential displacement

    is lower.

    4. Fretting mode II

    When slips are radial, as for indentation, the fretting is defined

    as mode II. This mode can be obtained when an elastic sphere is

    pressed against a flat of different elastic properties. In the fric-

    tional case, the Hertz theory is no longer validor should be used

    cautiously. The coupling between the normal and the tangential

    problems produces a radial shear stress and slip distributions. An

    outer slip annulus appears between radii c and a, c being the radiusof the inner circular stick area and a the contact radius. The ana-

    lytical solution is due to Spence [54] who proposed a closed form

    solution of the Hertz contact problem with finite friction when the

    indentation is processed progressively. This solution is based on

    an approximation which is that, if the pressure distribution has

    an effect on the tangential problem, the new tangential solution

    is not used to modify the pressure distribution. In other words, it

    is equivalent to solve successively the normal and the tangential

    problem only one time. The Spence solution links the stick radius

    to the friction coefficient, the Dundurs constant and the complete

    elliptic integral of the first kind K:

    The previous sphere with radius R=10 mm is brought into con-

    tact on a flat. The material properties are E1 =200 GPa, 1 =0.06,E2 =200 GPa, 2 =0.42, i.e. the Dundurs constant is equal to=0.1938. The normal load P=400N, is applied gradually every40N. Computations are done for a range of friction coefficient from

    0.01 to 0.25. The Spence lawimplies that the ratio c/a remains con-

    stant whenthe normal is increasing, which is notfound numerically

    at the beginningof the loading, see Fig. 14. It can be concluded that

    the dimensionless stick radius c/a reaches a constant value, as pre-

    Fig.15. Comparisonofthe analyticalsolution ofSpenceand resultsobtainednumer-

    ically. Theratiobetweenthe contact radius a andthe stick radius c is functionof the

    friction coefficient and the Dundurs constant .

    dicted by Spence, only after a transient period in which the stick

    radius decreases from a to c (as given by Spence).

    The numerical results are compared to the analytical solution

    of Spence in Fig. 15. The main differences could be observed for

    extreme values. When the friction coefficient increases, both thestick radius and the maximum contact pressure increases, see

    Fig. 16(a) and (b), respectively. However the maximum pressure

    tends to stabilizewithhighfrictioncoefficients dueto a smaller slip

    area. Note that when the stick radius is important, the shear distri-

    bution becomes numerically wavy, due to an insufficient number of

    load steps. A solution obtained after only one increment is plotted

    in Fig. 17 for a friction coefficient =0.1, and compared to the oneobtained with 10 increments. The difference suggests that several

    loading increments are required to reach the analytical solution

    given by Spence.

    The shear results are given in Fig. 18 for three different fric-

    tion coefficients at each loading increment. As discussed above the

    shear distribution has a wavy shape at high friction coefficient,

    i.e. =0.25, see Fig. 18(c). This numerical artifact, which disap-pears when using more load increments, perturbs the stick radius

    result. In addition it shouldbe noted that, whereas theSpence solu-

    tion assumes a Hertz pressure distribution, the maximum contact

    pressure found numerically when coupling normal and tangential

    problems reaches 1.04 times the Hertz pressure due to high shear

    stress that perturbs the normal problem. It explains why in Fig. 15

    the numerical solution diverges from the analytical one for high

    frictioncoefficient, the numerical solution being probablythe exact

    one. At low coefficient of friction (=0.01) the Spence law is accu-rate because the normal problem becomes hardly affected by the

    tangential solution. The difference between the numerical and the

    analytical solutions is here attributed to the mesh whichis not fine

    enough to catch accurately a very small stick disk. Finally for all

    high, more increments are required to avoid waviness in the numerical solution. (b) The maximum pressure increases with the coefficient of friction.

    is necessary to obtain the permanent contact evolution described by Spence.

    simulations carried out in mode II shear and slip vectors are radial,

    as shown in Fig. 19 for a friction coefficient =0.1.

    5. Fretting mode III

    When circumferential slips are involved, the fretting mode is

    called mode III. It happens for example when a sphere pressed to a

    flat surface is submitted to an additional torsion moment. An outer

    slip annulus appears, the circular stick area being limited by the

    radius c. Whenelastic properties are similar, normal and tangential

    problems areuncoupled and a close form solutionexists. Ithas been

    given by Lubkin [55]. The corresponding shear expression is:

    Thedifference is thenumber of influencecoefficients thatare takeninto account. Forcase III.1 onlythe influencecoefficientslinking thelocal tractionand theelasticdeflection

    in the same direction are used. For case III.2 every coefficients are used except the coefficients linking the normal and tangential problems because there values are nil when

    materials are similar. For case III.3, materials are dissimilar, but the equivalent Young modulus is equal to the previous cases, then all influence coefficients should be taken

    into account. Computation times are given. Comparisons between analytical and numerical results are done.

    Fig. 21. Ratio qr/q is used to define the computational errors induced after numerical simulation for case III.1 (a) and case III.2 (b). Indeed shear obtained should be

    circumferential and its radial component nil. Therefore to properly simulate fretting mode III, all the influence coefficients used in case III.2 are necessary.

    Three cases are simulated equivalently to fretting mode I simu-

    lations. A first step consists to apply the normal load P=400N, and

    in the second step a torsion moment Mz =5 Nm is imposed. Forcase III.3, it is executed in 10 increments per step because of cou-

    pling that induces a non-linear behavior. The contact configuration

    remains a sphere with radius R=10 mm brought into contact on a

    flat.

    Computation time increases when considering coupling. The

    shear distribution and the stick limit radius c found numerically

    when the bodies have identical elastic properties (cases III.1 and

    III.2) are in very good agreement with the analytical solution, as

    shown in Fig. 20.

    The only difference between the numerical results obtained for

    configurations III.1 and III.2 is a radial component of shears that

    appears in case III.1 but not in III.2, as shown in Fig. 21. Obviously

    for symmetry reasons the correct solution should be exempted of

    radial shear. This is attributed to the fact that the problem is solved

    in a Cartesian coordinate frame. It can be concluded that, when

    using a Cartesian coordinate frame for solving a torsional contact

    problem (i.e. with a radial symmetry) the crossed influence coeffi-

    cients should not be omitted. When dissimilar materials are used

    it canbe noticed that the symmetry of revolution is still preserved:

    shear is nilat the originand the contact area remains circular. How-

    ever analytical solutions are inappropriate. Simulation III.3 is verysingular compared to the two other cases; the stick radius is found

    to be 60% lower than the Lubkin solution [55], as shown in Table 2

    andalsoin Fig. 20. This difference canbe explainedby observingthe

    streamlines of the shear vectors, Fig. 22, where a significant radial

    component is found in addition to the circumferential one.

    6. Conclusion

    A semi-analytical contact code has been presented to model

    fretting contact. The conjugate gradient method is adapted to solve

    the coupled normal and tangential problem while minimizing the

    complementary energy. Computation times are contained thanks

    to the use of the DC-FFT technique to compute the convolution

    products between the surface stresses and the influence coeffi-

    cients. In the present algorithm each component of the applied

    force and moment vectors are considered, which means that the

    center of pressure and shear is not centered in the contact area.

    Indeed normal contact with flexion moments and tangential con-

    tact with torsion moment can be computed. The efficiency of the

    method was investigatedthroughthree examples correspondingto

    the fretting modes I (tangential displacement), II (normal displace-

    ment) and III (torsional displacement) as defined by Mohrbacher.

    It has been found for mode I that, when the contacting materials

    have similar elastic properties, the numerical solution slightly dif-

    fers from the analytical one that neglects slip in the perpendicular

    direction to the tangential force. On the other hand when the con-

    tacting bodies behave elastically differently it has been shown for

    modes I, II (for high friction coefficients) and III that the numericalsolutions with full coupling do not match the analytical ones.
