contents Accurately predicting friction in sliding interfaces that contain third body wear particles is critical for engineering applications such as sliding movement in pistons, bearings, or metal forming. We present a hierarchical multiscale framework that links particle scale mechanics to macroscopic friction in a strip draw friction test. At the macroscale, a one dimensional finite element model reproduces the global stress state of the strip draw setup and updates the local wear particle density via Archard's law. The local friction force at each node is then computed from mesoscale simulation results. At the mesoscale, a coupled discrete element boundary element approach resolves load sharing between rough surfaces and rigid oblate spheroidal wear particles. The mesoscale solution returns to the macroscale solver a friction coefficient that depends on normal pressure, sliding velocity, surface geometry, and particle density, thereby closing the loop between scales. The simulated friction coefficient matches strip draw experiments, capturing both the observed decrease in friction with increasing normal pressure and the influence of tool pad size.
