In turbine engines the contact between blades and disk may be subjected to fretting fatigue or fretting wear. This is due to the centrifugal force acting on the blade, which causes a relative displacement of the contacting surfaces producing either mixed stick-slip or gross slip.

Fretting wear and fretting fatigue are governed by the rate of formation of materials (third-bodies) between the initial contact surfaces. Furthermore, the third-bodies must be maintained within the contact. The issue of the race between third-body formation and subsurface damage conditions the effect of fretting on fatigue. That race lasts for only a few hundred or at best a few thousand cycles. Effective third-bodies (or good anti-fretting lubricants) must adhere strongly to the rubbing surfaces, and be able to accommodate at least part of the relative displacement. Great care in the design of test equipment has to be exercised before definitive results on the effect of amplitude and frequency on either fretting fatigue or fretting wear can be obtained for a given contact condition, given materials and given environments.

A steam generator tube of a nuclear power plant is damaged by a fretting phenomenon caused by flow induced vibrations (FIV). In this work, the surface of the tube was coated with CrN or TiN as a measure to improve performance of the fretting wear resistance. Fretting wear regime was classified by determining a phase difference between friction and relative displacement signals and contact characteristics were analyzed. As a result, coating increased the friction coefficient. At a lower load, contact condition shifted from gross slip to stick slip.

In this paper, a stick-slip compensation for the micro-positioning is presented using the statistical rough surface contact model. As for the micro-positioning structure, PZT (lead(Pb) zirconia(Zr) Titanate(Ti)) actuator is used to drive the load for precise positioning with its high resolution incorporating with the PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) control algorithm. Since the stick-slip characteristics for the micro structures are highly nonlinear and complicated, it is necessary to incorporate more detailed stick-slip model for the applications involving the high precision motion control. Thus, the elastic-plastic static friction model is used for the stick-slip compensation considering the elastic-plastic asperity contact in the rough surfaces statistically. Mathematical model of the system for the positioning apparatus was derived from the dynamic behaviors of structural parts. Since the conventional piezoelectric actuator generates the short stroke, a bridge-type flexural hinge mechanism is introduced to amplify the linear motion range. Using the proposed smart structure, simulations under the representative positioning motion were conducted to demonstrate the micro-positioning under the stick-slip friction.
