Atomic scale study of friction and energy dissipation
(Elsevier, 2003-05)This paper presents an analysis of the interaction energy and various forces between two surfaces, and the microscopic study of friction. Atomic-scale simulations of dry sliding friction and boundary lubrication are based ... -
Atomic scale study of superlow friction between hydrogenated diamond surfaces
(American Physical Society, 2004)Strong attractive interaction between two clean diamond (001) slabs turns repulsive upon the hydrogenation of surfaces. This repulsive interaction serves as if a boundary lubricant and prevents the sliding surfaces from ... -
Computational homogenization of soft matter friction: Isogeometric framework and elastic boundary layers
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2014)SUMMARY: A computational contact homogenization framework is established for the modeling and simulation of soft matter friction. The main challenges toward the realization of the framework are (1) the establishment of a ... -
First-principles study of superlow friction between hydro genated diamond surfaces
(2005)Attractive interaction between two clean diamond(001) slabs turns repulsive upon the hydrogenation of surfaces. Even under high loading forces, this repulsive interaction prevents the sliding surfaces from being closer to ... -
Frictional properties of quasi-two-dimensional materials from the Prandtl-Tomlinson model
(Bilkent University, 2016-10)Tribology, the study of friction, is both an old theoretical problem in physics and an area of great practical importance. The invention of experimental instruments such as Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) has lead to the ... -
A gPC-based approach to uncertain transonic aerodynamics
(2010)The present paper focus on the stochastic response of a two-dimensional transonic airfoil to parametric uncertainties. Both the freestream Mach number and the angle of attack are considered as random parameters and the ... -
A mixed formulation of mortar-based contact with friction
(Elsevier, 2013)A classical three-field mixed variational formulation of frictionless contact is extended to the frictional regime. The construction of the variational framework with respect to a curvilinear coordinate system naturally ... -
Model description of friction on planar and buckled two dimensional materials
(Bilkent University, 2018-01)The law of friction has been known since the 18th century but yet, the development on the tribology field was established in the last decades mainly by the invention of frictional force microscope (FFM), which enabled ... -
Nanocomposite glass coatings containing hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticles
(Pergamon Press, 2016)Glass coatings composed of SiO2-K2O-Li2O, containing non-modified and fluorosilane modified hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) nanoparticles, were prepared on stainless steel plates through sol-gel spin-coating method. Coatings ... -
Nanoscale tribology of graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition and transferred onto silicon oxide substrates
(Cambridge University Press, 2016)We present a comprehensive nanoscale tribological characterization of single-layer graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and transferred onto silicon oxide (SiO2) substrates. Specifically, the nanotribological ... -
Nonlinear laser lithography for enhanced tribological properties
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015)This paper investigates a new field for application of femtosecond laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS). We designed an innovative solution to reduce coefficient of friction of mechanical parts by using the ... -
Observer based friction cancellation in mechanical systems
(IEEE Computer Society, 2014)An adaptive nonlinear observer based friction compensation for a special time delayed system is presented in this paper. Considering existing delay, an available Coulomb observer is modified and closed loop system is formed ... -
Physically-based simulation of hair strips in real-time
(2005)In this paper, we present our implementation of physically-based simulation of hair strips. We used a mass-spring model followed by a hybrid approach where particle systems and the method of clustering of hair strands are ... -
Reduced density matrix approach to phononic dissipation in friction

Tactile perception by friction induced vibrations
(2011)When a finger moves to scan the surface of an object (haptic sensing), the sliding contact generates vibrations that propagate in the finger skin activating the receptors (mechanoreceptors) located in the skin, allowing ...
