Abstract This paper presents the results of fretting fatigue tests carried out on Ti6Al4V sheet specimens in contact with carbide rod in a cylinder-on-flat contact configuration. A new methodology of carrying out fretting fatigue experiments is proposed and successfully implemented using a pin-in-dovetail and pin-in-hole configuration. The advantage of this configuration is the simplicity and ease of application. The tests are carried out on MTS 810 at different loads, constant frequency (30 Hz) and ambient conditions. These tests reveal that the crack initiation and propagation are dependent on the applied load and the configuration of the contact. At low loads, non-propagating cracks are observed in the pin-in-dovetail configuration using metallurgical microscope. At high loads these cracks become longer but are still non-propagating. Numerical simulation using elastic– plastic material model is carried out to determine stress intensity factor and the mode of crack propagation. Maximum princi
