Wear and subsurface stress evolution in tractive rolling contact

Wear phenomenon is inherent to tractive rolling contact problems e.g., in rolling bearings or in rail–wheel interaction. It takes place in the sliding regions of the rolling contact area, and it accumulates as particles from the rolling bodies cross the contact region. Wear modifies the solids’ surf...
