Abstract A boundary element based formulation is proposed to simulate 3D fretting wear under gross-sliding and partial slip conditions, assuming anisotropic friction and wear laws. Contact problem is based on an Augmented Lagrangian formulation, and restrictions fulfilment is established by a set of projection functions. The boundary element method reveals to be a very suitable numerical method for this kind of problems, where the degrees of freedom involved are those on the solids surfaces, and a very good approximation on contact tractions is obtained with a low number of elements. The present boundary element anisotropic fretting More >
