This project investigates the energy dissipation processes in mechanical systems with sliding surfaces. By using molecular dynamics and continuum methods, it aims to understand how surface topography affects friction and energy loss, ultimately informing the design of more efficient mechanical devices.
Summary - Mechanical systems have moving parts which dissipate energy at surfaces sliding with respect to each other.
Energy efficient devices need interfaces that are tailored to consume little to no energy.
This requires a fundamental understanding of frictional dissipation processes.
The evolution of the topography of the two surfaces that are in contact is a crucial component of sliding friction:
Processes such as fracture and plastic flow dissipate energy and contribute to the macroscopic c…
