Tribology: Friction coefficients via non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) (video tip of the week)

In this video tip of the week Ole shows how simulate the friction coefficient of two quartz surfaces sliding against each other with the help of non-equilibrium molecular dynamics. The input file is available for download here. The analysis script for the calculation of the friction coefficients is found in your AMSHOME directory under examples/AMS/MD_friction/friction_coeff.py.
