Abstract An adhesive wear model based on a complete contact model for a fractal surface is presented in this work. A contact model which contains effect of adhesion is firstly presented based on ME model. A complete contact model is then proposed. Finally, an adhesive wear model based on this model is given. The results suggest that the maximum contact area increases firstly and then decreases as fractal dimension increases. The percentage of plastic contact area increases with increase of the fractal dimension. And the experimental results for wear volume have shown a good consistency with the results calculated by the wear model.

The paper describes a theoretical study of adhesive wear based on accurate finite element analysis (FEA) of elastic-plastic contact of single asperity and n-point asperity model. The wear model developed considers wear particle generation in whole range of deformation, ranging from fully elastic through elastic-plastic to fully plastic. Well defined adhesion index and plasticity index are used to study the prospective situations arising out of variation in load, material properties, and surface roughness. It is observed that the wear volume at particular level of separation increases with increase in plastic deformation and adhesion effect. Materials having higher tendency to adhesion show higher wear rate. Trend of the results obtained is found in line with the existing solutions which are modeled with conventional asperity concept. Inclusion of separate formulations for intermediate state of deformation of asperities which are based on accurate FEA study gives complete solution.

Adhesive wear in dry contacts is often described using the Archard or Fleischer model. Both provide equations for the determination of a wear volume, taking the load, the sliding path and a set of material parameters into account. While the Fleischer model is based on energetic approaches, the Archard formulation uses an empirical factor—the wear coefficient—describing the intensity of wear. Today, a numerical determination of the wear coefficient is already possible and both approaches can be deduced to a local accumulation of friction energy. The aim of this work is to enhance existing energy-based wear models into the mixed lubrication regime. Therefore, the pressure distribution within the contact area will be determined numerically taking real surface topographies into account. The emerging contact area will be divided into one part of solid and a second part of elastohydrodynamically lubricated (EHL) contacts. Based on the resulting pressure and shear stress distribution, the formation of micro cracks within the loaded volume will be described. Determining a critical number of load cycles for each asperity, a locally resolved wear coefficient will be derived and the local wear depth calculated.

The objective of this study was to investigate the wear characteristics of the U-shaped rings of power connection fittings, and to construct a wear failure prediction model of U-shaped rings in strong wind environments. First, the wear evolution and failure mechanism of U-shaped rings with different wear loads were studied by using a swinging wear tester. Then, based on the Archard wear model, the U-shaped ring wear was dynamically simulated in ABAQUS, via the Umeshmotion subroutine. The results indicated that the wear load has an important effect on the wear of the U-shaped ring. As the wear load increases, the surface hardness decreases, while plastic deformation layers increase. Furthermore, the wear mechanism transforms from adhesive wear, slight abrasive wear, and slight oxidation wear, to serious adhesive wear, abrasive wear, and oxidation wear with the increase of wear load. As plastic flow progresses, the dislocation density in ferrite increases, leading to dislocation plugs and cementite fractures. The simulation results of wear depth were in good agreement with the test value of, with an error of 1.56%.

The tibio-femoral contact area in five current popular total knee joint replacements has been measured using pressure-sensitive film under a normal load of 2.5 kN and at several angles of flexion The corresponding maximum contact pressure has been estimated from the measured contact areas and found to exceed the point at which plastic deformation is expected in the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) component particularly at flexion angles near 90°. The measured contact area and the estimated maximum contact stress have been found to be similar in magnitude for all of the five knee joint replacements tested. A significant difference, however, has been found in maximum contact pressure predicted from linear elasticity analysis for the different knee joints. This indicates that varying amounts of plastic deformation occurred in the polyethylene component in the different knee designs. It is important to know the extent of damage as knees with large amounts of plastic deformation are more likely to suffer low cycle fatigue failure. It is therefore concluded that the measurement of contact areas alone can be misleading in the design of and deformation in total knee joint replacements. It is important to modify geometries to reduce the maximum contact stress as predicted from the linear elasticity analysis, to below the linear elastic limit of the plastic component.

The study of the contact stresses generated when two surfaces are in contact plays a significant role in understanding the tribology of contact pairs. Most of the present contact models are based on the statistical treatment of the single asperity contact model. For a clear understanding about the elastic-plastic behavior of two rough surfaces in contact, comparative study involving the deterministic contact model, simplified multi-asperity contact model, and modified statistical model are undertaken. In deterministic contact model analysis, a three dimensional deformable rough surface pressed against a rigid flat surface is carried out using the finite element method in steps. A simplified multi-asperity contact model is developed using actual summit radii deduced from the rough surface, applying single asperity contact model results. The resultant contact parameters like contact load, contact area, and contact pressure are compared. The asperity interaction noticed in the deterministic contact model analysis leads to wide disparity in the results. Observing the elastic-plastic transition of the summits and the sharing of contact load and contact area among the summits, modifications are employed in single asperity statistical contact model approaches in the form of a correction factor arising from asperity interaction to reduce the variations. Consequently, the modified statistical contact model and simplified multi-asperity contact model based on actual summit radius results show improved agreement with the deterministic contact model results.
