摘要：This paper is concerned with the calibration and validation of a finite-element model of dry sliding wear in metals. The model is formulated within a Lagrangian framework capable of accounting for large plastic deformations and history-dependent material behavior. We resort to continuous adaptive meshing as a means of eliminating deformation-induced element distortion, and of resolving fine features of the wear process such as contact boundary layers. Particular attention is devoted to a generalization of Archard's law in which the hardness of the soft material is allowed to be a function of temperature.
