Abstract

Low-cycle surface fatigue is still relatively poorly investigated, especially in the case of accumulation of surface fractures during nanocontact interactions between solids. A new technique of modeling fatigue during a short nanocontact interaction based on repeated dynamic nanoindenting is proposed. The results of investigation of model LiF crystals and industrial ZrO2 ceramics show that, at a small number of cycles N of about 20, the material is hardened under the indenter. As N increases, the hardening is replaced by a loss of strength reflected in the formation and growth of microcracks.
