Project: Fundamental Simulation Studies of Mixing at Sliding Interfaces

Friction and lubrication have a long history and have been widely applied in industry, but its atomic origin has remained unsolved for a long time. Recently, with the advance of computers and the invention of new measuring instruments friction is being ...more>>

Project: Integrated atomistic and continuum simulation studies of stress-defect interactions.

More Details: Point defects play an important role in semiconductors, and their formation, migration and interaction are all affected by stress. Continuum methods are most efficient at modeling defect populations, diffusion, and external stress fields. The coupling ...more>>

I am a first year Engineering student in UM and started this project in Falk research group in winter term 2005. The topic of our project is "the Simulation of Localization and Structure in a glass." As we know, different simulation systems with different quench times and shear rates will... more>>
