The goal
of this project is to develop robust constitutive laws
to model friction between two sliding surfaces for use
in finite element simulations. The models are
being used to study the stability of sliding under
dynamic loading. There are two current projects
1. Continuum
modeling of dynamic sliding friction between contacting
surfaces (Demir Coker, Alan Needleman)
2. Discrete
dislocation simulations of size effects on frictional
behavior of sliding asperities (Vikram Deshpande, Eric
Van der Giessen, Alan Needleman)
