Abstract
The tribological characterizations and numerical simulations of filler reinforced polymeric composites for sliding wear in pin on disc configurations was performed using the finite element simulations. This paper aims to perform the numerical simulation of the deformation and strain in sliding wear. The evaluations for the deformation and strain are carried out by following the Archad’s linear wear law. The study assumes a uniform pressure distribution during simulation. The tribological behaviours of the polymeric composites was found to be non-linear. The results of the tribological characterization found the minimum values of surface roughness (Ra) and coefficient of friction to 0.6643 µm and 0.081 respectively. The values of friction forces for the developed composites were found to increase with the applied load. The density and hardened were found in the ranges of 0.8404–1.5304 (g/cm3), and 4.6–15.8 HV respectively. Moreover, the values for density and hardness were found to improve with the incorporation of sand particles as fillers. The study showed that the tribological performances of the polymeric composite increases with reinforcement. The study was found significant to predict the deformation and strain of polymeric composites without lasting and usually expensive experiments.
