About

In the last decade, there was a strong drive in the tribological community to "bridge the gap" between nano- and macro-tribology. The current Research Topic focuses on landmarks attained in this endeavor.

We invite specialists both in nano- and macro-tribology, as well as multi-scale simulation methods, to report their findings and discuss possibilities of integrating the information obtained on different scales into a single system. We especially welcome submissions aiming at formulating new, more elaborate tribological concepts better than the Coulomb friction law or Archards wear formula.

Topics:
• Atomic friction and wear
• Multiscale Modeling
• Mixed lubrication and boundary lubrication
• Contact mechanics with adhesion
• Molecular dynamics
• Contact mechanics of real surfaces with measured topography
• Generalized laws of friction
• Modeling of nonlinear wear behavior
