Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general)
Swedish term or phrase: arbeta ut (in this context)
3.1.2.2 Svaranden bestrider att, för det fall att det kan visas att tangentiella rörelser skett (se bild 1 ovan), sådana rörelser skulle ha kunnat arbeta ut stödbandet så att trumma 9 kunnat lossna. Vibrationer och tyngdkraften skapar dock även axiella krafter. På grund av det otillräckliga greppet har stödbandet genom en kombination av tangentiella. radiella och axiella krafter kunnat arbetas ut


Does this mean 'work free' or 'worn'?

work thin


Explanation:
The Swedish expression is not very precise (can have several meanings) but in this case I think "work thin" suits the context best.
