AB  - A boundary element based formulation is proposed to simulate 3D fretting wear under gross-sliding and partial slip conditions, assuming anisotropic friction and wear laws. Contact problem is based on an Augmented Lagrangian formulation, and restrictions fulfilment is established by a set of projection functions. The boundary element method reveals to be a very suitable numerical method for this kind of problems, where the degrees of freedom involved are those on the solids surfaces, and a very good approximation on contact tractions is obtained with a low number of elements. The present boundary element anisotropic fretting wear formulation is illustrated with some examples, in which some studies about the influence of anisotropy on fretting wear are presented.
