Evolution of Wear in a Two-Dimensional Bushing
Daniel J. Dickrell III & W. Gregory Sawyer

Abstract

Return to Journals

A model for the evolution of wear for the shaft and bushing for a simple two-dimensional bushing system is developed under the assumptions of uniform contact pressure and constant applied load.  A simple laboratory apparatus was constructed to test the model.  Two experiments were run.  One experiment showed wear on the shaft only, and the other showed wear on the bushing only.  The results showed the predicted linear progression of wear.
