Modeling of Dynamics in the Intermediate Layer between Contacting Bodies

Abstract

The interaction of deformable bodies with friction can be accompanied by brittle destruction of their surfaces, which causes a layer of gouged elements to appear in the contact area of the bodies. The elements of the layer, such as abrasive particles, can also be introduced from the outsides. In this paper, a model is constructed that allows judging the mechanism of changing the structure of a layer in the case when its elements are capable of rolling between interacting bodies.
