Thermoactivation theory of wear in plastics

  • Published:
Polymer Mechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

It has been shown that wear, being a thermofluctuation process, can be described by an equation analogous to Zhurkov's law of simple fracture. In fatigue wear the maximum value of the activation energy u0 is close to the u for the rupture of chemical bonds. Abrasive wear is an almost barrierless process, therefore in the case of mixed wear the presence of an abrasive component sharply reduced u0. The thermoactivation equation describes the effect of temperature on wear only within the limits of one physical state of the polymer. In transition zones it is necessary to take into account the role of the sharp change in elongation at break, which introduces extrema into the temperature wear curve.
