-----How to analyse sliding wear with Archard's principle
Dear Sir,
I'm doing a masters research on the effect of different sliding speeds on advanced polymer coatings.
From my experiments, I can determine the values of applied load (w), hardness (h), volume of wear debris (q) and sliding length (l) and can easily calculate for k (using the archards equation q = kwl/h)
How can the archard equation be used in analysing my test results/ determining the wear rate of the polymer coating?
warm regards
