Dissipation in solids under oscillatory shear: Role of damping scheme and sample thickness
R. L. C. Vink
We study dissipation as a function of sample thickness in solids under global oscillatory shear applied to the top layer of the sample. Two types of damping mechanism are considere…
Noncontact friction: Role of phonon damping and its nonuniversality
Miru Lee, Richard L. C. Vink, Cynthia A. Volkert +1
While obtaining theoretical predictions for dissipation during sliding motion is a difficult task, one regime that allows for analytical results is the so-called noncontact regime,…
Friction on incommensurate substrates: Role of anharmonicity and defects
S. Amiri, C. A. Volkert, R. L. C. Vink
We present Molecular Dynamics simulations of one- and two-dimensional bead-spring models sliding on incommensurate substrates. We investigate how sliding friction is affected by in…
On the connection between sliding friction and phonon lifetimes: Thermostat induced thermolubricity effects in molecular dynamics simulations
Richard L. C. Vink
A typical nanotribology simulation setup is the semi-infinite substrate, featuring a sliding bead on top, and with the lower substrate layers thermostatted to control temperature.…
Configurational entropy of network-forming materials
R. L. C. Vink, G. T. Barkema
We present a computationally efficient method to calculate the configurational entropy of network-forming materials. The method requires only the atomic coordinates and bonds of a…
