In this book, the authors present a comprehensive study of the effects of operating parameters (load, amplitude, frequency) on dry gross fretting of rough surfaces. It helps the reader to efficient surface preparations in order to monitor and reduce damage caused by fretting. It exposes the effect of surface topography on fretting, which is often neglected.

Exposes the effect of surface topography on fretting Comprehensive text on dry gross fretting Lists the parameters that influence dry gross fretting of rough surfaces
