The mechanism of abrasive wear involves formation and circulation of debris particles detached from rubbing solids. The loose wear particles form a more or less continuous intermediate layer which separates the sliding surfaces. The layer is treated as a single continuum with own kinematics and constitutive relations. The removal of material from rubbing solids, continuum based models and granular models of wear debris are discussed in the contribution. (© 2009 Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
