Numerical Study of Coupled Electrical-Thermal-Mechanical-Wear Behavior in Electrical Contacts

Electrical contacts involve complicated electrical, thermal, and mechanical phenomena. Fretting wear as a surface damage mechanism significantly weakens the performance of electrical contact components. In this study, a numerical approach is developed to investigate the electrical-thermal-mechanical...
