From: Universal limiting shape of worn profile under multiple-mode fretting conditions: theory and experimental evidence

Figure 3

(a) The cross section of spherical indenter worn profile obtained experimentally due to tangential fretting wear. Only the final profile after a very large number of oscillation cycles is shown. The theoretical limiting worn shape calculated according to Eq. (3) for the same parameters as in the experiment is shown by the dashed curve. (b) Photos of the experimental indenter in the final state.
