The goal of this project is to
predict the evolution of surface roughness, plastic
flow, wear and fatigue during normal indentation or
rolling and sliding contact between two surfaces.
There are two current projects:
1.
Experimental studies of roughness evolution during
indentation sliding, using as-received and patterned
surfaces (J. Wang, K.S. Kim)
2. Continuum and discrete dislocation
simulations of inelastic contact between surfaces with
fractal surface roughness (Yanfei Gao, Allan Bower, Leo
Lev, Y.T. Cheng, Alan Needleman, Vikram Deshpande, Eric
Van der Giessen. )
