A molecular dynamics simulation study has been conducted in order to point out the effect of steady shear and loading pressure on lubricant thin films. The model used in these simulations is composed of two solid walls and PFPE-Z lubricant. We apply steady shear by moving the walls in opposite directions while at the same time the upper wall exerts a constant load. The lubricant’s properties are investigated focusing on the shear thinning phenomenon and friction law. The obtained results could be used to improve computer hard disk systems..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
