Research SBDO Probabilistic SHM Multiscale Modeling ITPS Evolution	Evolution The dynamic behavior of a mechanical system greatly depends on the performance of joints, which is often deteriorated by wear. This research focuses on developing a numerical tool that can accurately model joints under wear. The accuracy of the tool is being validated experimentally using slider-crank mechanism.
