A parameter-free mechanistic model of the adhesive wear process of rough surfaces in sliding contact
Tobias Brink, Lucas Frérot, Jean-François Molinari
In order to develop predictive wear laws, relevant material parameters and their influence on the wear rate need to be identified. Despite decades of research, there is no agreemen…

Crack Nucleation in the Adhesive Wear of an Elastic-Plastic Half-Space
Lucas Frérot, Guillaume Anciaux, Jean-François Molinari
The detachment of material in an adhesive wear process is driven by a fracture mechanism which is controlled by a critical length-scale. Previous efforts in multi-asperity wear mod…

A Fourier-accelerated volume integral method for elastoplastic contact
Lucas Frérot, Marc Bonnet, Jean-François Molinari +1
The contact of solids with rough surfaces plays a fundamental role in physical phenomena such as friction, wear, sealing, and thermal transfer. However, its simulation is a challen…
