Fretting in Aircraft Systems.
Abstract
Fretting is becoming a recognized frequent source of major problems in the design, construction and operation of aircraft systems. High maintenance and inspection costs, increased down time, decreased durability and impaired safety are often direct results of damage or deterioration due to fretting, and catastrophic failures are not unheard of. The AGARD Specialists Meeting on the subject of fretting, held in Munich, Germany in October 1974, reviewed the state-of-the-art in the field. Presentations were made which elucidated the nature of the damage, methods of avoiding damage, and service experiences with a variety of aircraft mechanical systems. An insight into the problem was presented and approaches for solutions were sought. The goal of the meeting was to provide structural designers with an understanding of the fretting phenomenon and search out means of solution to the problem.
