Classification of progressive wear on a multi-directional pin-on-disc tribometer simulating conditions in human joints - UHMWPE against CoCrMo using Acoustic Emission and Machine Learning

Fretting fatigue is wear and fatigue damage at the interface of two surfaces under small cyclic motion, causing friction, wear debris, and crack formation. This project offers a guide on simulating Fretting Fatigue in Abaqus, focusing on 2D models, custom meshing, Field Outputs for analysis, and automating parameter selection with Python scripting.
