Prediction of wear

[@djdelta777]

Is it possible to have a simulation demonstration for this, say in Comsol or other software?

Hello Mr Larsson I have a doubt. You explained about load the contact surface that carry as dW, or W(total load). I think this load is normal to contact surface, which termed as contact pressure. But in case of Sliding load (for eg. a bushing sliding on a rod, and no lubricant), where the load should be shearing type. Should we use same general relation which is suggested by Mr Archard and Mr Holm? I have another question, if same material is sliding each other, the volume loss should be quality divided to both surfaces, correct? Dissimilar materials may share different proportions of wear loss.

as for the first question you had asked to Mr. Larsson, i'm here on behalf of him to answer. so, the answer is that W is the radial load acting on the surface not the normal load. Normal load is simply the load which is towards the radial load, they are alwas equal.
