The formation of dust and wind in luminous AGB-stars has been studied so far mainly for solar metallicities. Here, the impact of the dust component on the driving mechanism of the massive outflows and the non-linear coupling to hydro/-thermodynamics leads to the creation of dust-induced shock waves, the occurrence of onion-like spatial dust distributions around the star, time-dependent dust-size distributions, multi-periodicity, and the onset of a super-wind phase (see Sedlmayr, these proceedings). The question remains whether these phenomena appear also in metal-deficient models of AGB-stars like those in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC).
