Application of the phenomenon of self-organization for the development of wear resistant materials has been reviewed. For this purpose the term of self-organization and dissipative structures as applied to tribology have been discussed. The applications of this phenomenon have been shown in order to develop new wear resistantand antifriction materials. Specific examples have been shown for the ...

This paper proposes geometric Ricci–flow as a general model for reaction–diffusion systems and dissipative solitons in mathematical biology.

In this paper show that dissipative mechanical systems can be represented as Hamiltonian formalism. We have defined an expanded Hamiltonian function that leads to a unique conservative system for every phase flow of a dissipative mechanical system. We have demonstrated, whether the class of dissipative mechanical system has an analytical solution or not, it can be represented as an infinite num...

In this short paper we study the problem of existence of a controlled behavior that is strictly dissipative with respect to a quadratic supply rate. The relation between strictness and the rank of a suitable qudratic differential form that couples the dissipativity properties of the hidden behavior and the orthogonal complement of the plant behavior is analyzed.

A mechanism for the generation of turbulence and related phenomena in dissipative systems is proposed.
