How are friction defects and wear of a surface anticipated?

137 viewsEngineeringOther

In mechanics, especially contact mechanics, engineers count on simulations to detect the wear of a surface when there is contact (think of rolling metal for example) mainly in friction problems. AFAIK, such simulations produce the pressure & shear, temperature distribution… how can this trace back to the defects and wear formation/position?
