Simultaneously with the developing industry, nanotribological properties of nanoscale materials, especially in the fields of friction and lubrication, have been the subject of growing research. Interactions between materials are usually analyzed with modified atomic force microscopy (AFM) devices using lateral force measurement and topographic imaging techniques. Thanks to its superior physical and chemical properties, graphene has remained influential in the industry, including its use as a lubricant. Direct simulations of realistic interactions between AFM tips and graphene are, however, rarely performed in literature. In this thesis, nanotribological properties between graphene and gold AFM tips have been examined using molecular dynamics simulation. The AFM tip was modeled in various possible geometries and the graphene substrate as a slab with multiple layers during the investigation. The AFM tip's lateral forces on the substrate were analyzed in detail as a function of several parameters, including tip velocity, temperature, vertical load, and tip size.

Structural properties of indium phosphide nanorods: molecular dynamics simulations
Nayir, Nadire; TAŞCI, EMRE; Erkoç, Şakir (2016-01-01)
We study the structural properties of the indium phosphide nanorods of different thickness in zinc blende and wurtzite phases by performing classical molecular dynamics simulations using an inter-atomic potential. In addition to different temperatures, the nanorods are also investigated under strain and compression. When the stretch is applied, simulations reveal that the sequence of the irreversible structural transformation for the zinc blende nanorods is zinc blende -> rock salt -> wurtzite and the wurtz...
Theoretical investigation of the nanotribological properties of the hexagonal boron nitride and gold interfaces
Özcan, Gize; Toffoli, Hande; Department of Physics (2020)
Frictional properties of two-dimensional structures on the nanoscale have gained importance, especially in the last decades, and a considerable amount of research is carried on to understand the interaction between their interfaces with well known lubricants. In industrial developments, these materials’ interfacial properties on metals have great importance. Therefore, in this thesis, we theoretically investigated the hexagonal BN and Au(111) interface with using molecular dynamics simulation. Calculation r...
Enhancement of Physical and Mechanical Properties of Epoxy Resins by Graphene/Graphene Oxide Additives
Budak, Deniz; Yıldırım, Erol; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2022-1-23)
Control of interfacial interactions is essential for the preparation of polymer matrix composites with enhanced physical, mechanical, thermal and electrical properties. The performance of the graphene and graphene oxide (GO) additives can be improved by achieving strong adhesion and uniform dispersion of GO in the epoxy matrix. In this study, modeling and simulation of DGEBA (Bisphenol A diglycidyl ether)/DETA (Diethylenetriamine) based epoxy nanocomposites containing graphene and graphene oxide (GO) additi...
Investigation of tribological behaviours of graphene-coated journal bearing
Yıldız, Bayram; OVALI, İSMAİL; ÜNLÜ, CUMHUR GÖKHAN (2018-01-01)
In this study, we investigated macro- and nano-scale tribological behaviours of single-layer graphene on steel parts. Single layer graphene was synthesized via Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) on copper foil and then transferred onto commercial journal bearing that has a considerable rough surface. Nanotribological tests were carried out by using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) under loadings differs from 5 to 30 nN, and macrotribological experiments were done using pin on disc type tribometer at three differ...
Modelling of variable friction in cold forging
Cora, Oe N.; Akkök, Metin; Darendeliler, Haluk (2008-11-01)
In metal forming operations, the friction between die and workpiece is a complex phenomenon and has a strong influence on the metal forming parameters and the product quality This study aims to investigate the effect of friction in cold forging operations using different friction models. In the analyses, the forging operations are simulated using the Coulomb and constant friction models, and the results are compared with the simulation results obtained by using the variable friction models developed by Wanh...
