In turn, these structures—usually formed by destabilization of the stationary sliding regime—can lead to the reduction of friction and wear. \u003cstrong\u003eFriction-Induced Vibrations and Self-Organization: Mechanics and Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics of Sliding Contact \u003c\/strong\u003ecombines 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. The book also relates friction-induced self-organization to novel biomimetic materials, such as self-lubricating, self-cleaning, and self-healing materials. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eExplore Friction from a Different Angle—as a Fundamental Force of Nature\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book begins with an exploration of friction as a fundamental force of nature throughout the history of science. It then introduces general concepts related to vibrations, instabilities, and self-organization in the bulk of materials and at the interface. After presenting the principles of non-equilibrium thermodynamics as they apply to the interface, the book formulates the laws of friction and highlights important implications. The authors also analyze wear and lubrication. They then turn their attention to various types of friction-induced vibration, and practical situations and applications where these vibrations are important. The final chapters consider various types of friction-induced self-organization and how these effects can be used for novel self-lubricating, self-cleaning, and self-healing materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFrom Frictional Instabilities to Friction-Induced Self-Organization\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on the authors’ original research, this book presents a new, twenty-first century perspective on friction and tribology.
