Abstract
A computer implemented method of modelling the degradation of at least a component within an abrasive environment, the method comprising: obtaining a 3D scan of a surface of a component, processing the surface images of the component, determining the surface properties, inputting the data into a trained prediction model, predicting the performance of the component, and simulating the surface evolution over time or use of the component.
Claims12
A computer implemented method of modelling the degradation of at least a component having a non-planar surface profile with a granular structure within an abrasive environment, the method comprising:
- obtaining a 3D scan of a surface of a component, with data from the 3D scan being processed into a surface image,
- processing the surface image of the component,
- determining surface properties of the component,
- inputting the 3D scan data into a trained prediction model,
- predicting a performance parameter of the component, and
- simulating a surface evolution over time or use of the component.
