Fretting is a special type of wear, which appears at the contact interface between two solids
subjected to constant normal load and periodic tangential forces. Although most studies on …

A computationally efficient model of evolution of contact and wear is developed for a general
periodic pin-on-flat problem with the focus on the pin-on-disc configuration and Archard …

One of the major issues for industrials is to predict how the components are damaged in
service and to establish when they need to be replaced or repaired to avoid a catastrophic …

A two-dimensional contact problem for an elastic layer of a finite thickness is considered with
the effects of friction and wear taken into account. It is assumed that the contact zone is …

The wear process on a frictional interface in a relative sliding motion of a punch on a
substrate induces shape evolution of contact interface. For fixed contact zone the process …

In this paper a new method for solving wear problems, using the Boundary Element Method
(BEM) is proposed. The proposed method uses a shape optimization technique for rapid …

The paper presents asymptotic modeling of reciprocating sliding wear with increasing
contact zone under a prescribed constant normal load. The wear contact problem is …

The article presents asymptotic modeling of the running-in wear process with fixed contact
zone under a prescribed constant normal load or an imposed contact displacement. The …

A continuum mechanics approach is applied to model fretting wear in gross-slip regime with
accounting for the third-body layer, which is formed by wear debris trapped within contact …

A finite deformation contact problem with friction and wear is studied in which the shape
changes due to wear are finite. Accordingly, in addition to the initial configuration and the …
