Title: Micro and Nano-structure Development and Multiscale Physics at Sliding Metal Interfaces

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/840907· OSTI ID:840907

This report describes research on the response of ductile materials to extreme loading conditions and high strain rates during impact combined with sliding friction. The work is a collaboration among two groups at Los Alamos National Laboratory and a tribology research group at The Ohio State University. The work involves experimental work and computer simulations at both laboratories and continuum mechanics analysis at OSU. Results to date demonstrate the importance of vorticity and mechanical mixing near the sliding interface in the development of tribomaterial.
