Design of a Multi-Axial Test Specimen for Fretting Fatigue in Splined Couplings

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper describes the conceptual, embodiment and detailed design of a representative test specimen to mimic fretting variables in aero-engine splined couplings. A fretting bridge design was chosen for the multi-axial representative specimen from a set of four concepts evaluated. The test specimen was intended to facilitate more rapid testing for design against fretting fatigue and wear in the complex contact geometry of the spline coupling.
