Effects of tip geometry on interfacial contact forces
2010
Modelling and Simulation in Materials Science and Engineering
Experimental techniques that utilize atomic force microscopy are routinely used to examine tribological properties of tip-sample interactions. While analysis of data obtained with these methods provides values for macroscale properties, such as interfacial shear strength, understanding nanoscale properties, such as contact radius, requires an atomic-scale approach. Molecular dynamics simulations provide the ability to numerically analyze the nanoscale origins of a wide-range of material and
