Fretting fatigue occurs in contacting parts which are subjected to fluctuating loads and very small sliding movements at the same time. Fretting fatigue can significantly reduce the fatigue life of materials. In this investigation, a new device is introduced, which performed using a combination of a servo-hydraulic push-pull fatigue testing machine and a specially designed jig for appropriate positioning of pads. The axial and contact loads are measured by load cells. The functionality of the device is examined by making a comparison between fretting fatigue lives and plain fatigue lives of a number of ZL702A aluminum alloy specimens. The main advantages of the device are its simplicity and cheapness. It can be developed further for high and low temperature tests in future.
