Adhesion, Lubrication, and Wear on the Atomic Scale
This paper reviews three important aspects of tribology (adhesion, lubrication and wear) on the atomic scale with a focus on our work on aluminum surfaces. Adhesion is critical to the success of many applications but there is no simple analytical model available to predict adhesion between different materials, so we discuss the use of electronic structure methods to investigate adhesion between...
متن کاملSoft lubrication.
We consider some basic principles of fluid-induced lubrication at soft interfaces. In particular, we quantify how a soft substrate changes the geometry of and the forces between surfaces sliding past each other. By considering the model problem of a symmetric nonconforming contact moving tangentially to a thin elastic layer, we determine the normal force in the small and large deflection limit,...
متن کاملMolecular Origin of Limiting Shear Stress of Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication Oil Film Studied by Molecular Dynamics
All-atom molecular dynamics simulations of an elastohydrodynamic lubrication oil film are performed to study the effect of pressure. Fluid molecules of n-hexane are confined between two solid plates under a constant normal force of 0.1–8.0 GPa. Traction simulations are performed by applying relative sliding motion to the solid plates. A transition in the traction behavior is observed around 0.5...
متن کاملAnticancer lubrication
Mice lacking Muc2 had an increased ratio of proliferating to apoptotic epithelial cells, resulting in altered maturation and increased migration of epithelial cells in the intestine. They were also more likely to develop intestinal, colon, and rectal tumors. The mice are the first good model for studying rectal tumors, which are common in humans. Anticancer lubrication new mouse model for the s...
متن کاملPleural Lubrication
During breathing, the pleural surfaces slide against each other continuously without damage. Pleural liquid and lubricating molecules should provide the lubrication of the sliding surfaces, thus protecting the mesothelium from shear-induced abrasion. D’Angelo et al. (Respir. Physiol. Neurobiol. 2004) measured the coefficient of kinetic friction (μ) of rabbit parietal pleura sliding against visc...
