Motivation• Lack of clearly and completely understanding of the friction nature and behavior• Dry friction of a particular surface is caused by normal force, adhesion force, and

interlocking between asperities .• Bowden and Tabor model: Ff = τ∙A

Numerical Work

• MD simulation represents friction on a single asperity.

• Finite element modeling can be used to study friction on a larger scale where each asperity force interaction is taken from MD simulation.

Atomic Force Microscope (AFM)

• Experimentally study single asperity friction• Tip diameter: 5 µm - 10 nm• A laser beam that is reflected off the

cantilever into a photodiode monitors the bending and twisting of the cantilever.

Summary and Future Work

• Transient friction experimental investigations can be done on the Nano-scale using AFM and on the Micro-scale using Friction test rig.

• Transient friction analytical investigations can be done on the Nano-scale using MD simulation and then connected to FE modeling to investigate Micro-scale friction.

• Future AFM experiments are friction on smooth substrate and substrate with low roughness.

• Future MD simulations are sliding friction of different surface geometries, normal loads, and speeds.
