Fretting Fatigue of Materials Other Than Steel

In this book, I have basically explained fretting damage mainly in steel materials, but recently, for the purpose of weight reduction and new functionality, new materials such as aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, and ceramics have come to be used in fields such as high-speed vehicles, space equipment, aircraft, and jet engines. Since the technology for evaluating fretting damage is not sufficiently developed in the area of these new materials, there are many troubles in which fretting damage accidents occur when they are easily used for the purpose of weight reduction or new functionality (see Chap. 2.2 ). Here, we will explain the characteristics of fretting damage for each new material and how to address it.
