The goal of
this project is to compute the strength of a hard
wear-resistant coating which is subjected to contact
loading, in terms of the properties of the interface,
substrate, and coating. There are three current
projects
1. Discrete dislocation
simulations of coating delamination under an asperity
contact (M. O'Day, W. Curtin)
2.
Computation of delamination mechanism maps under
contact loading (Yanfei Gao, Shuman Xia, Allan Bower,
Lou Hector, Leo Lev)
3.
Computation of deformation and fracture in diamond
coated WC/Co substrates (Benjamin Ciotti, Allan Bower,
Leo Lev, Y.T. Cheng)
