Criterion for Critical Junctions in Elastic-Plastic Adhesive Wear
PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS(2021)
Abstract
We investigate elastic-plastic adhesive wear via a continuum variational phase-field approach. The model seamlessly captures the transition from perfectly brittle, over quasibrittle to elastic-plastic wear regimes, as the ductility of the contacting material increases. Simulation results highlight the existence of a critical condition that morphological features and material ductility need to satisfy for the adhesive junction to detach a wear debris. We propose a new criterion to discriminate between noncritical and critical asperity contacts, where the former produce negligible wear while the latter lead to significant debris formation.
