Computational Techniques in Tribology and Material Science at the Atomic Level

  • Chapter
Fundamentals of Friction: Macroscopic and Microscopic Processes

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 220))

Abstract

Computations in tribology and material science at the atomic level present considerable difficulties. In this paper computational techniques ranging from first-principles to semi-empirical and their limitations are discussed. Example calculations of metallic surface energies using semi-empirical techniques are presented. Finally, application of the methods to calculation of adhesion and friction are presented.
