Funded Activity Summary

Nanotribology of coating on silicon using multiscale atomic-continuum modelling. Nanotribology plays a vital role in the development of nanomaterials, nanotechnology and information technology. The current project aims to predict the mechanisms involved in the nanotribology of diamond coating on silicon. In addition, the project will integrate the tribological mechanisms involved on the atomic scale with mechanisms on the continuum scale using an innovative model combining molecular dynamics, discrete elements method and finite elements analysis. This will provide a holistic understanding of tribology.
