Contact deformation of self-affine metal surfaces: A Green’s function
dislocation dynamics approach
Recent Research activities:
• PhD thesis project: In order to study contact
mechanics of self-affine metal surfaces involving size-dependent plastic deformation, anew modelling technique is presented that combines Discrete Dislocation Plasticity (DDP) with Green’s function molecular dynamics (GFMD). We choose to name this new model Green's function dislocation dynamics.
• Master's thesis projects proposed and
supervised by me: 1) A novel numerical technique to study evolution of contact area: Green’s function molecular dynamics. - Student name: Steven Jan van Dokkum
2) Extending Green's function molecular dynamics to 3-dimensional contact mechanical problems.- Student name: Yaswanth Murugesan
