Entropy-Based Damage Accumulation in Tribological Systems: A Comprehensive ReviewBy Aaditya Mishra, Akhilesh Lodwal, Vijay Kumar Karma
Abstract: This paper reviews classical wear models and entropy-based degradation approaches used for predicting failure in tribological systems. Various wear models, thermodynamic frameworks, and applications of the Degradation Entropy Generation (DEG) theorem are discussed. Friction, which is the primary source of heat generation in tribological contacts, is responsible for material degradation through a variety of irreversible processes. While classical wear approaches have been widely used for wear prediction and life estimation, …
