Wear testing using standardized samples such pin on disk,
three-balls-in-socket, rubbing disk, etc. have no bases in reality
since the wear systems of any "standardized test" and the application
are very different.

Best practice is to build a prototype of the machine (or small
subsection of the full size machine) and test it directly measuring
material loss (wear) via dimensional loss and gravimetric (weight)
loss. Protoype and subsection testing more closely duplicates the wear
systems in the actual machine application. Accelerated testing using
stanardized samples or even prototype testing is a risk - wear systems
are often velocity and time depenedent and hence the output of an
experiment is confounded with time.

good luck
