Fretting fatigue damage with wear is a slow phenomenon, and simulating the entire process of wear is often not possible. This example problem demonstrates how to speed up a wear simulation. It illustrates a workflow to perform fretting fatigue damage calculation using nCode DesignLife to postprocess results.
The following features and capabilities are highlighted:
Adaptive wear scaling process
Interface input for a fretting fatigue tool
Workflow of the fretting fatigue life calculation in nCode DesignLife
