Abstract:A one-dimensional wear contact problem for a functionally-graded elastic coating attached to a rigid base is considered under the condition of a constant pre-strain with the effect of the coating thickness evolution taken into account. It is assumed that the wear coefficient is inversely proportional to the material stiffness at the bearing surface. The presented analysis is primarily given in the dimensionless form in order to illustrate qualitative features of the model behavior. It is shown that the wearing… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
