Friction-induced vibrations and self-organization mechanics and non-equilibrium thermodynamics of sliding contact

"Friction induced instabilities can lead to vibrations, which are often undesirable (e.g., car brake squeal). On the other hand, they may be useful (e.g., music sound generation). New materials capable to resist wear and heal minor damage (self-healing) in themselves can be developed if the abi...
