60 years of Rabinowicz’ criterion for adhesive wear

Abstract: 60 years ago, in 1958, Ernest Rabinowicz published a 5 page paper titled "The effect of size on the looseness of wear fragments" where he suggested a criterion determining the minimum size of wear particles. The criterion of Rabinowicz is based on the consideration of the interplay of elastic energy stored in "asperities" and the work of separation needed for detaching a wear particle. He was probably the first researcher who explicitly emphasized the role of adhesion in friction and wear. In a recent paper in… Show more

“…In a special case of elements motion in a plane, the projections of unit vectors onto the third coordinate axis are zero. (5) The assumption of a simply deformable element is implemented in the MCA using the original many-body formulation of the element-element interaction 22,23 . In particular, the specific central force of reaction of discrete element i in response to the action of element j consists of the pair-wise and pressure-dependent contributions, while tangential force is considered as a pair-wise: is a mean stress in the element i, A i is a material parameter for the element i, ε ij and γ ij are normal and shear strains of the element i in the pair i-j.…”

“…Amonton's first law holds, and no lubrication effect from wear debris is observed in the atomic wear regime. The special issue was closed by a short review of the work of Rabinowicz on adhesive wear [231]. In 1958, Rabinowicz published a short historic paper on his fundamental ideas on the looseness of wear particles and proposed the criterion of critical size of wear particles, which has impacted on the research of wear and materials science for the past 60 years.…”

“…Here, the term "adhesive interaction" includes (a) attractive interaction between detached surfaces and (b) effect of "cold welding" (chemical bonding of contacting surfaces) for chemically clear surfaces with high surface energy. The first well-known attempt to generalize the patterns of adhesive wear is the analytical model of Rabinowicz [57,58]. He examined two qualitatively different mechanisms of asperity wear (plastic smoothing and breakaway) and showed that the involving of a specific mechanism is determined by the size parameter, which is a combination of specific material parameters, including shear strength, elastic constants, and specific surface energy.…”
