AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO DIGITAL IMAGE CORRELATION APPLIED TO A NOVEL THREE ACTUATORS FRETTING FATIGUE RIG [Poster #22]

This poster showcases a novel three-actuator fretting fatigue rig that features a horizontal contact orientation. The machine is equipped to conduct tests under lubrication and enables independent control of all loads in terms of intensity and angle phase. To validate this new rig, we performed fretting fatigue tests on a Ti-6Al-4V alloy couple in a cylinder-plane configuration, instrumented with an integrated approach to digital image correlation.
