This project investigates contact mechanics at the nanoscale, focusing on friction and wear. It aims to develop a computational platform to better understand adhesive forces and surface interactions, which can lead to improved lubricants and materials.
Nanotechnology is a new frontier in research and new tools must be developed.
As surface to volume ratios become large, engineering at the nanoscale will be dominated by surface science.
The study of Contact Mechanics at nanoscales nanotribology- needs to fully account for adhesive forces, third-body interactions and deformation mechanisms at contacting asperities.
Understanding these factors as well as the morphological evolution of contact clusters has the potential of explaining the origins o…
