Implementation of asymptotics of the wear contact problem solution for identifying the wear law based on the results of tribological tests

Abstract

The parameter of the wear law of bronze coupled with steel under dry friction is identified by comparing the results of mathematical modeling with experimental data. The wear tests were carried out according to the steel-ball–flat-bronze sample scheme under relative reciprocal sliding of the tested samples. The modeling of the wear of the sample was based on asymptotic behavior of the solution of the corresponding wear-contact problem. The effectiveness of using this asymptotic behavior to identify the wear law based on the tribological test results has been demonstrated.
