Molecular Origin of Limiting Shear Stress of Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication Oil Film Studied by Molecular Dynamics

Hitoshi Washizu, Toshihide Ohmori, Atsushi Suzuki

All-atom molecular dynamics simulations of an elastohydrodynamic lubrication oil film are performed to study the effect of pressure. Fluid molecules of n-hexane are confined betwee…
