- Abstract
In prediction of structural wears with the finite element (FE) approach, the geometry of FE model must be updated constantly to imitate the nonlinear wear behaviors which need a great amount of computational time. Improvement of efficiency of wear simulations becomes increasingly important due to the design requirements. In the current study, an alternative and efficient FE approach by introducing the approach of contact surface transformation is proposed to improve the simulation efficiency of structural wear. The FE model of pin-on-plate wear problem is demonstrated and wear result presented is comparable to available simulation data. The result shows that the computational time is comparatively reduced and numerical precision is increased. It is believed that the current method can offer superior performance for larger and complex structures.
