Temperatures of circular rods due to rotational and oscillatory axial sliding motion

Using Green's function method, surface temperature rise due to frictional h eating in oscillatory sliding and rotating rods is studied. The problem und er consideration consists two rods, one of them is stationary and the other exhibits both oscillatory axial sliding and rotational motion. In terms of the obtained closed form solutions for the temperature distribution in bot h rods, the effect of different parameters on the rod thermal behavior may be investigated.
