The Evaluation of Wear in the Fretting of Electrical Contact Surfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
Consideration is given to methods for the evaluation of surface wear from fretted electrical contact surfaces. The surfaces under consideration are selected for in-vivo applications, they are testing using purpose built fretting apparatus to investigate intermittency. The intermittency is associated with high frequency transients in the contact resistance between the two interfaces. These events can have serious consequences for the electronic signal and sensing systems. The intermittency events have been shown to be related to the wear processes occurring at the interface. Consideration is given to two optical scanning methods for the evaluation of the surface wear in terms of the volumetric wear of the surfaces. Keywords-Surface Contact Mechanics, Wear, Fretting, Intermittency, Conduction Polymer contacts.

Crack Behavior of the Aluminum Alloy 2024 Under Fretting Conditions
The initial stage of fretting fatigue crack growth is significantly influenced by tangential force induced by fretting action along the contact surface where a mixed-mode crack growth is involved. Fretting crack behavior of aluminum alloy 2024 was studied, taking into account the problem of contact asperities. Finite element was used for the determination of the stress field near the contact su...
متن کاملA Numerical Study on the Effect of Debris Layer on Fretting Wear
Fretting wear is the material damage of two contact surfaces caused by micro relative displacement. Its characteristic is that debris is trapped on the contact surfaces. Depending on the material properties, the shapes of the debris, and the dominant wear mechanisms, debris can play different roles that either protect or harm interfaces. Due to the micro scale of the debris, it is difficult to ...
متن کاملNumerical Modeling of Fretting Wear
In this paper, a review of some techniques proposed in the literature for modelling fretting wear is presented. Fretting wear occurs when surfaces are degraded and materials are removed due to a small relative oscillatory motion between two contact surfaces. Due to the continuous change in the shape of a structure during its lifetime, the design of engineering components subjected to fretting w...
