Abstract

The article discusses the application of information entropy to the quantitative assessment of abrasive particle distribution in the friction zone. Using discrete element modelling (DEM) and in-situ experiments, the interaction modes between sand particles moving between the surface of a rubber roller and a flat steel surface inclined at different angles were investigated. Shannon entropy was calculated based on visual analysis of the distribution of active particles in the friction zone and compared with the amount of abrasive wear. A stable correlation was found between the uniformity of distribution and the wear rate. It was demonstrated that as entropy increases, the system tends towards a steady state with a limit entropy value of H_∞ ≈ 3.4. The method showed high sensitivity and suitability for assessing and predicting wear in tribological systems.

利用熵估计磨料磨损过程

讨论了信息熵在摩擦区磨粒分布定量评价中的应用。利用离散元模型（DEM）和现场实验，研究了砂粒在橡胶辊表面和不同倾斜角度的扁钢表面之间的相互作用模式。基于对摩擦区活性颗粒分布的可视化分析计算Shannon熵，并与磨粒磨损量进行比较。分布均匀性与磨损率之间存在稳定的相关关系。结果表明，随着熵的增加，系统趋于稳定，其极限熵值为H∞≈3.4。该方法对摩擦学系统的磨损评估和预测具有较高的灵敏度和适用性。

期刊介绍： Wear journal is dedicated to the advancement of basic and applied knowledge concerning the nature of wear of materials. Broadly, topics of interest range from development of fundamental understanding of the mechanisms of wear to innovative solutions to practical engineering problems. Authors of experimental studies are expected to comment on the repeatability of the data, and whenever possible, conduct multiple measurements under similar testing conditions. Further, Wear embraces the highest standards of professional ethics, and the detection of matching content, either in written or graphical form, from other publications by the current authors or by others, may result in rejection.
