Abstract: The main objective of this work was to evaluate the state of stress and strain in Pin-on-Disc (POD) tribology test setup with of
316LN austenitic stainless steel as the tribo elements under self-mated conditions using finite element method (FEM). Type 316LN
stainless steel is a major core and structural material in the Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR. In PFBR there are many in-core and
out-of-core component involving contact pairs of 316LN stainless steel and undergoing sliding wear during operation as well as
maintenance. Estimation of wear during operation of the machine would lead to developing appropriate wear mitigation approaches.
However, measurement of in-situ wear in machine components is very difficult, if not impossible. Finite element method (FEM) based
numerical modeling of machine operation with appropriate wear models would enable estimation of wear a-priori. As accuracy of
calculated wear values strongly depends on the state of stress and strain in the components, accurate modelling of the state of stress and
strain is essential.

that the plain strain region exists up to depth below the

10. Conclusion
In this work the pin-on-disc (POD) tribology test setup was
modeled using elastoplastic finite element method (FEM) for
316LN austenitic stainless steel with 10N applied load and
100 rpm speed using the commercial FEM code ABAQUS
Figure 5: State of Stress version 6.10. The FEM model was analytically validated and
optimum mesh size for the contact elements were determined
by comparing the maximum contact pressure from elastic
analysis results with analytical results from Hertz contact
theory applied to ball on flat surface. Using this optimum
mesh size elastoplastic FEM analysis was carried out to
determine the state of stress and strain in the pin and the disc
for different friction conditions between the pin and the disc.
For this type of contact problem (ball on flat surface) the FEM
mesh size for accurate maximum contact pressure is strongly
dependent on the applied load and material properties. The
optimum mesh size for 316LN austenitic stainless steel with
10N applied load is 100 micron for which the error in
maximum contact pressure is 2.7%.The von-Mises stress
reduces for elastoplastic model as compared to elastic model.
With increasing friction, both equivalent plastic strain and
von-Mises stress increase. A state of plane strain condition is
established along the mean diameter of the contact ring as
depicted by negligible ε33 below the contact point.
