Initial orientation of the fretting fatigue cracks in shrink-fit connection specimens

The bending configuration of shrink-fitted connection fretting fatigue tests causes a fluctuation of the contact pressure and in turn a more favourable condition for shear, rather than tensile, crack initiation. According to the classification Type I (shear) and Type II (tensile) fretting cracks, t...
