Molecular dynamics simulations of nanofriction and wear

This thesis presents simulations of nanometre-scale ploughing friction and wear behaviour when a pyramidal diamond indenter is ploughed through the surface of bcc and fcc metals and semiconductors. Parallel molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of nanoindentation followed by nanoscratching using Newto...
