Finds documents with one or the other search term (e.g. porsche OR volkswagen).
Finds documents with all search terms. Blank space is understood as AND (e.g. man robot production).
Finds documents with no appearance of the word behind NOT (e.g. ford NOT "harrison ford").
Finds documents where the search term is mentioned at least "n" times."n" may be any number (e.g. COUNT(gear)>8).
Finds documents with both search terms in any word order, permitting "n" words as a maximum distance between them. Best choose between 15 and 30 (e.g. NEAR(recruit, professionals, 20)).
Finds documents with the search term in word versions or composites. The asterisk * marks whether you wish them BEFORE, BEHIND, or BEFORE and BEHIND the search term (e.g. lightweight*, *lightweight, *lightweight*).
Finds documents with the search term in different spellings. "?" allows only one character (e.g. organi?ation).
Special characters are understood as AND (e.g. Miller Bros. & Sons).

Abstract

This chapter delves into the intricate world of fretting fatigue, a phenomenon where cyclic loads cause fatigue damage in contacting bodies with relative displacement. The study focuses on the impact of finite element mesh size on predicting fretting fatigue life using linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) and the ABAQUS software. The research begins by establishing a reference mesh size that ensures convergence with analytical solutions, then explores how increasing the mesh size affects stress distribution and fatigue life predictions. The investigation covers various mesh sizes, stress ratios, and initial crack lengths, providing a detailed analysis of their effects on fatigue life. The results highlight that while increasing mesh size slightly increases the predicted number of cycles, a significant reduction in initial crack length substantially boosts the predicted fatigue life. This study offers valuable insights into optimizing mesh size for LEFM calculations, reducing computational costs, and enhancing the accuracy of fatigue life predictions in complex geometries.
