It is found that the crack initiation of fretting fatigue between blade dovetail and wheel dovetail occurs at the contact edge of blade dovetail. The parameters of stress singularity obtained from maximum principal stress distribution are capable to evaluate the fretting fatigue strength with the cyclic load having a constant angle against the contact surface under a variable contact pressure. The ratio of between the intensity range of stress singularity and the critical intensity range of stress singularity, Δ Hl/Δ Hc, is an effective parameter to predict the fretting fatigue life of compressor dovetail.
