Fatigue fretting is the process of crack formation and progressive crack growth at a location in a mechanical system where two components are in contact and undergoing a vibratory loading. A new ASTM International standard provides insight on what conditions promote fretting fatigue and offers approaches to design an experiment to assess it. ASTM E2789 , Guide for Fretting Fatigue Testing, was…, ASTM Committee E08 Next Meeting:, May 16-20, May Committee Week, Anaheim, Calif., Technical Contact:, Richard W. Neu, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Ga., Phone: 404-894-3074; rick.neu@gatech.edu ASTM Staff Contact: Jeff Adkins, Phone: 610-832-9738; jadkins@astm.org ASTM PR Contact: Barbara Schindler, Phone: 610-832-9603; bschindl@astm.org R elease #8809
