Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Composite material
  • Thermodynamics
  • Finite element method

His scientific interests lie mostly in Mechanics, Finite element method, Composite material, Fracture mechanics and Grain boundary. His work deals with themes such as Empirical modelling, Displacement, Asperity, Ceramic and Scaling, which intersect with Mechanics. The various areas that Jean-François Molinari examines in his Finite element method study include Sliding wear, Brass, Contact area and Plasticity.

In Composite material, Jean-François Molinari works on issues like Constitutive equation, which are connected to Grain size and Grain Boundary Sliding. Within one scientific family, Jean-François Molinari focuses on topics pertaining to Brittleness under Fracture mechanics, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Weibull modulus, Ultimate tensile strength and Fracture. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Grain boundary, Deformation mechanism, Grain growth, Mineralogy and Stress is strongly linked to Nanocrystalline material.

His most cited work include:

  • Finite-element analysis of contact between elastic self-affine surfaces (324 citations)
  • Finite element modeling of elasto-plastic contact between rough surfaces (235 citations)
  • Mechanical behavior of Σ tilt grain boundaries in nanoscale Cu and Al: A quasicontinuum study (193 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of investigation include Mechanics, Finite element method, Composite material, Fracture mechanics and Brittleness. He has included themes like Asperity, Material properties, Structural engineering, Contact area and Slip in his Mechanics study. His studies deal with areas such as Surface finish and Surface as well as Contact area.

His Slip study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Shear, Nucleation, Viscoelasticity and Stress concentration. The Finite element method study which covers Classical mechanics that intersects with Continuum. Jean-François Molinari combines subjects such as Strain rate and Ceramic with his study of Brittleness.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mechanics (37.41%)
  • Finite element method (23.13%)
  • Composite material (21.43%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Mechanics (37.41%)
  • Composite material (21.43%)
  • Surface roughness (7.82%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of study are Mechanics, Composite material, Surface roughness, Adhesive wear and Finite element method. His Mechanics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Work, Asperity, Stress, Slip and Elastic energy. His Stress study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Wear law, Normal load, Fracture mechanics and Dissipation.

His research in Composite material intersects with topics in Fractal and Affine transformation. Jean-François Molinari combines subjects such as Brittleness and Surface finish with his study of Surface roughness. While working in this field, Jean-François Molinari studies both Finite element method and Integrator.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Modeling and simulation in tribology across scales: An overview (176 citations)
  • Asperity-Level Origins of Transition from Mild to Severe Wear. (39 citations)
  • A mechanistic understanding of the wear coefficient: From single to multiple asperities contact (37 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Composite material
  • Thermodynamics
  • Mechanics

Jean-François Molinari focuses on Mechanics, Stress, Work, Fracture mechanics and Discrete dislocation. Jean-François Molinari applies his multidisciplinary studies on Mechanics and Microscale chemistry in his research. To a larger extent, Jean-François Molinari studies Structural engineering with the aim of understanding Fracture mechanics.

In his research, Plasticity, Shear stress and Mechanical equilibrium is intimately related to Statistical physics, which falls under the overarching field of Discrete dislocation. His Asperity research incorporates themes from Shearing and Contact area. His Fractal study incorporates themes from Brittleness, Surface finish and Composite material.
