Friction-Induced Vibrations and Self-OrganizationMechanics and Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics of Sliding Contact\nAuthor(s): Michael Nosonovsky, Vahid Mortazavi\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: CRC Press\nISBN-13: 9781138074323, 978-1138074323\nSynopsis\nMany scientists and engineers do not realize that, under certain conditions, friction can lead to the formation of new structures at the interface, including in situ tribofilms and various patterns. In turn, these structuresusually formed by destabilization of the stationary sliding regimecan lead to the reduction of friction and wear. Friction-Induced Vibrations and Self-Organization: Mechanics and Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics of Sliding Contact combines the mechanical and thermodynamic methods in tribology, thus extending the field of mechanical friction-induced vibrations to non-mechanical instabilities and self-organization processes at the frictional interface.
