ABSTRACT = {Fretting fatigue is a type of failure that may affect various mechanical 
components, such as bolted or dovetail joints, press-fitted shafts, couplings, and ropes. 
Due to its importance, many researchers have carried out experimental tests and 
analytical and numerical modelling, so that the phenomena that govern the failure process 
can be understood or appropriately modelled. Consequently, the performance of systems 
subjected to fretting fatigue can be predicted and improved. This paper discusses 
different aspects related to the finite element modelling of fretting fatigue. It presents 
common experimental configurations and the analytical solutions for cylindrical contact. 
Then, it discusses aspects of fretting fatigue crack initiation, such as crack location, 
orientation, and length, as well as stress averaging approaches. Then, it deals with the 
propagation stage; crack face interaction, orientation criteria, and crack growth rate are 
discussed. Lastly, additional aspects of recent research on fretting fatigue are reviewed: 
out-of-phase loading, cohesive zone modelling, wear effects, heterogeneity, and crystal 
orientation. Fretting fatigue is a phenomenon not well understood, and much more 
research is needed so that its understanding is increased and proper criteria and laws may 
be available for different cases.},
