Nanoscale phenomena in lubrication : From atomistic simulations to their integration into continuous models

The modern trends in lubrication aim at reducing the oil quantity in tribological applications. As a consequence, the film thickness in the contact zone decreases significantly and can reach the order of magnitude of a few nanometres. Hence, the surface separation is ensured by very few lubricant mo...
