Contact Mechanics: Modeling the Interaction Between Surfaces with Nanoscale Asperities for MEMS via Online Simulations in NanoHUB

Physics-based simulations are playing an increasingly important role in materials and device engineering, providing information that can help engineers understand current technology and optimize designs. We describe a model and simulation tool for the characterization of the interaction between surf...
