Fretting wear of elastic half-spaces with a groove in a frictional slip zone

Puntos clave

• Fretting wear increases significantly in groove formations under frictional slip zones, suggesting enhanced material degradation.
• Precise measurement showed a correlation between groove depth and wear rate in controlled experiments.
• Fretting wear analysis of elastic half-spaces utilized computational methods for detailed simulation results across varied conditions.
• These findings indicate the need for improved design strategies to mitigate wear in mechanical interfaces.
