Archard equation by Wikipedia Bot 0
The Archard equation is a mathematical model used to describe wear processes in materials, particularly in the context of sliding wear. It relates the wear rate of a material to the normal load applied to it, the hardness of the material, and a wear coefficient. The equation is typically expressed as follows: \[ W = k \cdot \frac{F}{H} \] Where: - \( W \) is the wear volume (or mass) per unit of sliding distance.
