VERIFICATION OF RABINOWICZ’ CRITERION BY DIRECT MOLECULAR DYNAMICS MODELING

In the paper we use direct molecular dynamics modeling to validate the criterion for formation of wear debris proposed by E. Rabinowicz in 1958. A conventional molecular dynamics using a classical Tersoff’s potential was applied to simulate the sliding behavior within a thin film corresponding to a...
