This paper describes high-cycle fretting fatigue modelling for 7050-T7451 aluminium alloy using a cohesive zone law. For the sake of crack generation arising from cyclic bending, a bilinear, cycle-dependent cohesive zone law is used including stiffness degradation and reduction of fracture energy with respect to fatigue cycles. The reduction rate of fracture energy is determined with experimental...
