Molecular dynamics simulation of shear friction process in tectonically deformed coal

Shear friction is an important deformation process in tectonically deformed coals (TDCs) and is closely related to the dynamic metamorphism of coal. In the current study, we perform a molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of the shear friction process on primary structure coal. The simulation results s...
