Modelling of Dynamic Friction Across Solid Material Interfaces Using Molecular Dynamics Techniques

The topic of this PhD is to investigate materials interfaces under the application of com-pressive forces and dynamic friction. Friction studies are important in applications for high-speed machining and ballistic penetration modelling, two areas where it is important to understand the behaviour of...
