Calculations of the impact of friction and wear on energy consumption, economic
expenditure, and CO 2 emissions are presented on a global scale. This impact study covers …

Nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations have provided unique insights into
the nanoscale behaviour of lubricants under shear. This review discusses the early history of …

Pristine monocrystalline graphene is claimed to be the strongest material known with
remarkable mechanical and electrical properties. However, graphene made with scalable …

Steady-state shear viscosity η (γ̇) of unconcatenated ring polymer melts as a function of the
shear rate γ̇ is studied by a combination of experiments, simulations, and theory …

The pressure tensor (equivalent to the negative stress tensor) at both microscopic and
macroscopic levels is fundamental to many aspects of engineering and science, including …

We implement a hybrid molecular dynamics/Monte Carlo simulation to study the microscopic
dynamics and the macroscopic rheology of vitrimers with a fast bond exchange rate. We …

Vegetable oil is a common waste in the food and hospitality industries. It has been proposed
as a modifier for asphalt to improve its performance on road pavement. In order to …

Bituminous binder's chemical aging process leads to significant changes in its mechanical
and rheological properties. The two main outcomes of chemical aging are the oxidation of …

Molecular dynamics simulations confirm recent extensional flow experiments showing ring
polymer melts exhibit strong extension-rate thickening of the viscosity at Weissenberg …

We present diffusion coefficient and shear viscosity data for the Lennard-Jones fluid along
nine isochores above the critical density, each involving a temperature variation of roughly …
