Abstract

The aim of this study is to use the multiaxial fatigue parameter to predict the fatigue life of the 6082 T6 aluminum alloy subjected to the fretting fatigue conditions. In addition to the critical plane based multiaxial fatigue parameter, Smith-Watson-Topper (SWT), the Cracking Energy Density (CED) criterion was used to predict fretting fatigue life. A volumetric approach were applied to take account the effect of the size of elementary volume.
