Dear Ranjeetkumar S. Gupta ;

The dry sliding tests can be used to determine the wear resistance of your samples using a pin-on-disc wear tester by varying the load and speed.

and then using the Archard wear model (Archard, 1953), the specific wear rate, Ws , can be determined using the following equation

Ws = ( ∆m )/(L*ρ* F )

where Ws in (mm3 /Nm), ∆m is weight loss (g), L is the sliding distance (m), ρ is density (g/mm3 ) and F is applied load (N).

Dear Mahmood H. M.

Thank you for listing these important references for volumetric wear measurement.

Very helpful indeed. Though I am looking for simulation ideas in ANSYS using the Archard Wear ACT extension or UDF.
