Publication number: 20170307494Abstract: The invention features a method for determining the worn shape of a deformable body in sliding contact with a deformable substrate. A wear depth w in an inward normal direction is determined at select points on a surface of the deformable body at each point in time t by integration of the following equation: dw d ? ? ? = kT n ? v b where k is a material dependent variable determined by physical tests, Tn is a contact pressure determined by finite element analysis of the deformable body in sliding contact with the deformable substrate at each point in time t, v is a constant sliding velocity between the deformable body and the deformable substrate, b is a constant determined by physical tests, and ?=tb is a computational time.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2016Publication date: October 26, 2017Inventors: Javit Ahmed Drake, Alison Fiona Stephens, Daniel Christopher Sutton, Georges Roger Jean Limbert
