Abstract

Wear is viewed as a stochastic process in the surface layers of contacting bodies; it comprises the processes of spalling of wear particles and their stochastic transportation and nanobonding. These processes can be described within the framework of the macroscopic phenomenological theory [1]; however, the parameters of the macroscopic theory can be found only by microscopic modeling of the tribological interface. In the present paper, the dynamic processes are modeled by means of the method of movable cellular automata in the interface of a tribological couple. The results allow us to identify the parameters of the macroscopic model based on the modeling of processes at the nanolevel; this enables us to extrapolate from the nano- to the macrolevel.
