A model of fretting wear in the contact of an axisymmetric indenter and a visco-elastic half-space
Dimaki, Andrey V.; Popov, Valentin L.
We propose a simple and efficient model of wear of axially symmetric bodies in contact with a visco-elastic foundation based on the method of dimensionality reduction. The results of simulation of wear of a parabolic indenter have been demonstrated. It has been shown that dissipation due to viscosity of a material leads to increase the size of the worn region of an indenter. The noted effect is conditioned with an increase of effective shear modulus of visco-elastic material under sufficiently high velocities of tangential loading. The model can be generalized to a wide range of materials with complex visco-elastic properties.
