We quantify the effect of uncertainties on quantities of interest related to contact mechanics of rough surfaces. Specifically, we consider the problem of frictionless non adhesive normal contact between two semi infinite linear elastic solids subject to u ...
Sliding contact between solids leads to material detaching from their surfaces in the form of debris particles, a process known as wear. According to the well-known Archard wear model, the wear volume (i.e. the volume of detached particles) is proportional ...
Wear is the inevitable damage process of surfaces during sliding contact. According to the well-known Archard’s wear law, the wear volume scales with the real contact area and as a result is proportional to the load. Decades of wear experiments, however, s ...
