Modeling expected wear in revolute joints with clearance in multibody mechanical systems

The main goal of this work is to develop a methodology for studying and quantifying the wear phenomenon in revolute clearance joints. In the process, a simple model for a revolute joint in the framework of multibody systems formulation is presented. The evaluation of the contact forces developed is...
