Figure 6 highlights the sensitivity analysis of load for WR and COF. Sensitivity analysis of load for WR and COF is negative for lower load values and it is negative as the value of sensitivity of load increases. Figure 7 illustrates the time sensitivity. Time sensitivity for WR is positive for lower load values and it is positive as the value of sensitivity of load increases and COF remains unchanged. Figure 8 reveals sliding velocity sensitivity. Sliding velocity sensitivity for WR is positive and

increases with increase in load. COF is positive with increase in load.

• The developed regression prototypical is with success match the nearest

• The wear rate of composite compound values strongly depends on the investigational limits, that is, normal load, time and sliding velocity.
