Studies on Nanoscale Sliding Contacts of Textured Surfaces by Multiscale Method

Abstract:

Coupled molecular dynamics simulation and finite element method, a multiscale method is used to model nanoscale sliding contacts problems. According to an experimental sample, 4 textured surfaces with different asperity shapes are designed. Through the friction forces comparisons between smooth surface and textured surfaces, the effects of texture shapes are investigated, and 2 better textured surfaces are discovered to reduce friction forces.
