Calculations of the impact of friction and wear on energy consumption, economic
expenditure, and CO 2 emissions are presented on a global scale. This impact study covers …

Nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations have provided unique insights into
the nanoscale behaviour of lubricants under shear. This review discusses the early history of …

Lubricated contact processes are studied using classical molecular dynamics simulations for
determining the entire range of the Stribeck curve. Therefore, the lateral movement of two …

The transport of fluid and ions in nano/molecular confinements is the governing physics of a
myriad of embodiments in nature and technology including human physiology, plants …

The pressure tensor (equivalent to the negative stress tensor) at both microscopic and
macroscopic levels is fundamental to many aspects of engineering and science, including …

In stress-augmented thermal activation, the activation energy barrier that controls the rate of
atomic and molecular processes is reduced by the application of stress, with the result that …

Zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP) is added to engine lubricants to reduce wear and
ensure reliable operation. ZDDP reacts under rubbing conditions to form protective zinc/iron …

The prediction of friction under elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) conditions remains
one of the most important and controversial areas of tribology. This is mostly because the …

In this work, a residual entropy value of 6/10 of the way between the critical point and a
value of− 2/3 of Boltzmann constant is shown to collapse the scaled viscosity for the family of …

It is crucial to comprehend how the oil film varies under dynamic operating conditions and
the accompanying friction properties to better grasp the friction mechanism and control …
