This work presents a finite element study of a 2D plane strain fretting model of a half-cylinder in contact with a flat block under oscillatory tangential loading. The two bodies are deformable and are set to Inconel 617 and Incoloy 800H at room temperature (20 ℃) and 800 ℃. However, because the results are normalized, they can characterize a range of contact scales (micro to macro). Different coefficients of friction are used at the interface. This work finds that the edges of the contacting areas experience large von Mises stresses along with significant residual plastic strains, while pileup could also appear when the coefficients of friction are sufficiently large. In addition, junction growth is investigated, showing that the direction of the growth is in the same direction of the tangential force that the weaker material (Incoloy alloy 800H) experiences. The fretting loop (caused by the tangential force during the fretting motion) for the initial few cycles of loading is generated, and it compares well with the reported experimental results. The different extents of damage at room temperature and 800 ℃ are also compared.
