Orientation of propagating crack paths emanating from fretting-fatigue contact problems

In this work, the orientation and propagation of cracks in fretting fatigue problems is analyzed numerically using the finite element method (FEM) and the extended finite element method (X-FEM). The analysis is performed by means of a 2D model of a complete-contact fretting problem, consisting of...
