Abstract
Computational modeling of fretting wear in fiber-reinforced composite materials is a difficult task due to the fact that contact and wear constitutive laws require considering micromechanical aspects such as the fiber orientation relative to the sliding direction or the fiber volume fraction. In this work, a 3D Boundary Element Method formulation for wear modeling is proposed and applied to simulate fretting-wear in fiber-reinforced composites. New contact constitutive laws for friction and wear modeling in fiber-reinforced composites are incorporated to an augmented Lagrangian resolution scheme and applied to compute and study wear in a carbon FRP film.
