Tribo-Model

Matlab code for modeling the electrochemical current from the tribological contact between an AFM tip and a polarized stainless steel oxide in a corrosive electrolyte.

Introduction

• Tribo-Model is a repository for a set of Matlab functons that model the tribocorrosion current arising from the interaction of a non-conductive diamond AFM tip and the stainless steel oxide exposed to a 0.6 M NaCl solution and polarized to a set potential.
• It expects that data files will be included and plotted along with the simulation results
• This is a model that is very much under development!

Background

This project started as a way to interpret experimental data obtained from an AFM with the tip acting as a single asperity contact on a polarized stainless steel sample exposed to a corrosive electrolyte.

Code

This project was written using Matlab R2020a.

Installation

The files should be downloaded into the same folder with the experimental data files.
