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 ability for self-organization is embedded into the material. This book emphasizes thermodynamic analysis of friction-induced instabilities, vibrations, and self-organization as well as fundamental properties of friction and wear related to these. • Introduces the first comprehensive volume on friction-induced instabilities, vibrations and waves, and friction-induced self-organization • Provides a non-equilibrium thermodynamic approach to friction and wear • Discusses new materials (self-healing, self-lubricating, and self-cleaning) • Offers a non-traditional approach to the field which is not adequately covered by typical tribology books • Contains new results which are potentially transformative and can lead to new smart self-lubricating, self-healing, and self-cleaning materials • Presents physical concepts written is a language clearly understandable to an engineer or engineering graduate student • Includes case studies and worked examples

James W. Evans

Since the 1920s, modern powder metallurgy has been used to produce a wide range of structural powder metallurgy components, self-lubricating bearings, and cutting tools. The conventional method involves the production of metal powders and the manufacture of useful objects from such powders by die compaction and sintering. Powder injection molding permits the production of stronger, more uniform, and more complex powder metallurgy parts. A detailed discussion of powder metallurgy materials and products is given in this book. Catalog no. K12688, January 2011, 536 pp. ISBN: 978-1-4398-5746-5, $179.95 / £115.00

Responding to a resurgence in the steel industry and the need for experts trained in current steelmaking techniques, this volume goes beyond fundamental modeling concepts to address physical and mathematical modeling, steelmaking technology, and the scientific basis of steelmaking. It also provides computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes and covers FLUENT software. Catalog no. 62433, August 2009, 493 pp. ISBN: 978-1-4200-6243-4, $157.95 / £101.00 Also available as an eBook
