Nanoscale Friction: Phonon Contributions for Single and Multiple Contacts

A generic model has been developed to simulate the effect of phonon interactions during nanoscale sliding with an incommensurate interface. A rigid slider or array of sliders is translated across a 3D elastic slab whose mass elements are harmonically coupled, either in a simple cubic structure (for...
