Molecular dynamics simulations of nanoindentation and nanotribology [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions Series A, Mathematical, Physical, and Engineering Sciences, 2005
We present results of parallel molecular dynamics simulations of nanoindentation and nanotribology experiments. The models we have developed describe both the sample and the indenter atomistically and model the effect of the cantilevers in an atomic ...

Wear, 2005
Abstract The recent emergence and proliferation of proximal probes, in particular scanning probe microscopies (the scanning tunneling microscope and the atomic force microscope), the surface force apparatus, and of computational techniques for simulating tip-surface interactions and interfacial properties, have led to the appearance of the new field ...

Nanotribology

MRS Bulletin, 1993
Friction, lubrication, wear, and adhesion are all phenomena familiar from everyday experience. We experience friction when we go for a walk on ordinary ground—we do not expect to fall flat on our faces, as we might when walking on ice. Wear is particularly well known because it leads to catastrophic failure and represents one of the most costly ...

Nanotribology and MEMS

Nano Today, 2007
The tribological phenomena of adhesion, friction, and wear arise when solid objects make contact. As the size of devices shrinks to micro- and nanoscales, the surface-to-volume ratio increases and the effects of body forces (gravity and inertia) become insignificant compared with those of surface forces (van der Waals, capillary, electrostatic, and ...
