Contact Fatigue

Contact Fatigue is a mechanical degradation phenomenon characterized by the progressive damage and eventual failure of material surfaces under repeated cyclic loading in contacting parts, distinguished from other wear mechanisms by its initiation and propagation of subsurface cracks due to localized stress concentrations.
