Aa. Yevtushenko et Om. Ukhanska, PLANE CONTACT PROBLEM OF THERMOELASTICITY WITH QUASI-STEADY FRICTIONAL HEATING, International journal of engineering science, 31(11), 1993, pp. 1565-1573
We consider a problem of thermoelasticity for a semi-space heated by a
moving cylindrical solid. The heat is generated by the friction of tw
o moving contacting solids. Two Green's functions have been used to re
duce the problem to an integral equation which has been solved numeric
ally. The influence of the thermal distortion on the pressure has been
found. The contact area is smaller than that predicted in the case of
an isothermal contact.
