A molecular dynamics study of scale effects on the friction of single-asperity contacts
A micro-mechanical dislocation model of frictional slip between two asperities was presented by Hurtado and Kim [1], which predicts that the friction stress is constant and of the order of the theoretical shear strength, when the contact size is small. However, at a critical contact size there is a transition beyond which the frictional stress decreases with increasing contact size, until it re...
متن کاملRecent advances in single-asperity nanotribology
As the size of electronic and mechanical devices shrinks to the nanometre regime, performance begins to be dominated by surface forces. For example, friction, wear and adhesion are known to be central challenges in the design of reliable microand nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS). Because of the complexity of the physical and chemical mechanisms underlying atomic-level tribology, it is...
متن کاملModeling of Frictional Contacts for Dynamic Simulation
The paper addresses rigid body dynamic simulation of mechanical systems with frictional contacts. It is well known that the use of Coulomb's law of friction with the principles of classical rigid body dynamics introduces mathematical inconsistencies. Speciically, the initial value problem may have no solutions or more than one solution. We show that a suitable lumped model of compliance in the ...
متن کاملGeometry Effects at Atomic-size Aluminium Contacts
We present electronic structure calculations for aluminium nanocontacts. Addressing the neck of the contact, we compare characteristic geometries to investigate the effects of the local aluminium coordination on the electronic states. We find that the Al 3pz states are very sensitive against modifications of the orbital overlap, which has serious consequences for the transport properties. Stret...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulation of single asperity contact
We present a series of molecular dynamics simulations of single asperity contact and deformation that occurs as two rough surfaces are brought together, loaded and then separated. We monitor the force between the two surfaces, the total potential energy, the Q6 order parameter, the effective minimum contact radius and the conductance (using the modified Sharvin equation). The deformation is obs...
