Atomistic simulations performed with a family of model potential with tunable hardness have proven to be a great tool for advancing the understanding of wear processes at the asperity level. They have been instrumental in finding a critical length scale, w ...

Modeling friction and wear using an adaptive discrete-continuum coupling

Manon Eugénie Voisin--Leprince

When two objects slide against each other, wear and friction occur at their interface. The accumulation of wear forms what is commonly referred to as a ``third-body''. Understanding third-body evolution has significant applications in industry, where contr ...

Fault roughness controls injection-induced seismicity

Simon Guérin-Marthe, Lei Wang

Surface roughness ubiquitously prevails in natural faults across various length scales. Despite extensive studies highlighting the important role of fault geometry in the dynamics of tectonic earthquakes, whether and how fault roughness affects fluid-induc ...

Stick-slip-to-stick transition of liquid oscillations in a U-shaped tube

François Gallaire, Alessandro Bongarzone

The nonlinear decay of oscillations of a liquid column in a U-shaped tube is investigated within the theoretical framework of the projection method formalized by Bongarzone et al. [Chaos 31, 123124 (2021)]. Starting from the full hydrodynamic system supple ...

Modeling of rough contact interfaces with trapped compressive liquid pockets

Jean-François Molinari, Guillaume Anciaux, Parissasadat Alavi, Julie Richard, Loris Rocchi

Boundary and mixed lubrication are usually used to reduce friction in sheet metal form- ing. In the boundary lubrication regime load is mainly carried by contacting asperities. Therefore, the tribological problem can be solved in the dry case using a geome ...

Model-free data-driven computational mechanics (DDCM) [Kirchdoerfer & Ortiz, 2016] is a new paradigm for simulations in solid mechanics. As in the classical method, the boundary value problem is formulated with physics-based PDEs such as the balance of mom ...

Graph neural networks for dynamic modeling of roller bearings

Olga Fink, Vinay Sharma

Machine learning has paved the way for the real-time monitoring of complex infrastructure and industrial systems. However, purely data-driven methods have not been able to learn the underlying dynamics and generalize them to operating conditions that have ...

We investigate the load transmission along an elastic rod of finite cross-section in contact with a rigid cylinder, as system often referred to as the generalized capstan problem. In the presence of friction, the idealized classic capstan equation predicts ...

Investigation of Contact Clusters Between Rough Surfaces

Jean-François Molinari, Shijun Yin, Gianluca Costagliola

We investigate the persistence of micro-contacts between two elastic random rough surfaces by means of a simple model for quasi-static sliding. Contact clusters are calculated with the Boundary Element Method, then surfaces are repeatedly displaced to stud ...

Modeling the origins of adhesive wear across scales

Son-Jonathan Pham-Ba

Friction and wear occur at every interface between solid materials.In the design of mechanical devices, it is desirable to be able to quantify and control the amount of friction and wear, as well as predict their evolution with time. ``Tribology'' is the s ...
