Fluctuation-induced diffusive instabilities

Article Abstract:

Finite fluctuations in particle number can offer a general pattern-forming mechanism in non-equilibrium growth, according to research into the formation of complex patterns in non-equilibrium systems. Inevitable fluctuation effects in a finite density process have been found to lead to a significant change in its large-scale properties, an unexpected result. It would be difficult to use the calculational machinery of equilibrium statistical methods to study these systems.

Friction and fracture

Article Abstract:

Research is presented concerning the atomic description of the contacting surfaces during friction and the discovery of the existence of cracks which are self-healing. The calculation of friction coefficients is discussed.

A new crack at friction

Article Abstract:

Issues are presented concerning the advances which have been made in the theory of surface cracks and the implications for the basic laws of friction. The mathematical extension of Slepyan models is discussed.
