A Molecular Dynamics Approach to Nano-scale Lubrication Abstract A numerical approach based on Molecular Dynamics simulations was developed in the purpose of investigating the local mechanisms of lubrication at nano-scales. The model ele-ments were introduced and characterized in order to yield the most realistic material and inter-facial properties of the contact. Due to their tight relationship with friction at the nanometre scale, the energetic dissipation methods used in molecular dynamics were revisited and guide-lines were set for choosing a correct dissipation method for a variety of operating conditions. Moreover, a novel method combining physical relevance and simplicity was introduced for studying heat dissipation in the high-shea...
