Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study of Mechanical Effects of Lubrication on a Nanoscale Contact Process

Using molecular dynamics simulation, we study the effect of a lubricant on indentation and scratching of a Fe surface. By comparing a dry reference case with two lubricated contacts—differing in the adsorption strength of the lubricant—the effects of the lubricant can be identified. We find that aft...
