Developments in fretting studies applied to electrical contacts
Developments in fretting studies applied to electrical contacts
A review of recent developments in fretting
studies in electrical contacts is presented, focusing on
developments in instrumentation methods, intermittency
studies, wear assessment, and the application of new
materials. The aim of the review is to look at the future
directions of this important topic. The application areas
discussed includes automotive connectors, in-body (invitro)
electronic connection systems, and photo-voltaic
connection systems all of which provide extreme operating
environments for connector surfaces. Recent developments
in the application of conducting polymers are also
discussed. The review leads to a number of
recommendations for further studies into the physics of
contacts with micro-movement.
