Overview

Yip-Wah Chung is affiliated with Northwestern University in the United States. Their research primarily spans the broad fields of engineering and materials science, with a focus on subfields such as mechanical engineering, materials chemistry, mechanics of materials, atomic and molecular physics and optics, and astronomy and astrophysics.

Their published work covers several key research topics including diamond and carbon-based materials research, lubricants and their additives, force microscopy techniques and applications, tribology and wear analysis, gear and bearing dynamics analysis, tribology and lubrication engineering, and adhesion, friction, and surface interactions.

Yip-Wah Chung has contributed to a number of scientific papers recently, including:

  • Possible Origin of D- and G-band Features in Raman Spectra of Tribofilms, 2023, published in Tribology Letters
  • Formation of Wear-Protective Tribofilms on Different Steel Surfaces During Lubricated Sliding, 2023, published in Tribology Letters
  • Lubrication-Contact Interface Conditions and Novel Mixed/Boundary Lubrication Modeling Methodology, 2021, published in Tribology Letters
  • Contacting Micro Asperity of a Deformable Surface, 2023, published in Journal of Tribology
  • Formation of Wear-Protective Tribofilms on Different Steel Surfaces During Lubricated Sliding, 2023, published in Research Square (Research Square)

Collaboration is a notable aspect of Chung's work, with frequent coauthors including Shuangbiao Liu, Stephen Berkebile, Arman Mohammad Khan, Tobias Martin, and Yusheng Li.

The scientist's work is frequently published in journals and venues such as Tribology Letters, Research Square, Journal of Tribology, Space Telescopes and Instrumentation 2022: Ultraviolet to Gamma Ray, and arXiv (Cornell University).

In addition to journal articles, Yip-Wah Chung has authored work published by ASM International, notably the book titled Crystalline Imperfections: Key Topics in Materials Science and Engineering in 2021.
