Friction-Induced Vibrations and Self-Organization: Mechanics and Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics of Sliding Contact

by Michael Nosonovsky and Vahid Mortazavi

Many 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 structures--usually formed by destabilization of the stationary sliding regime--can lead to the reduction of friction and wear.
