Plane contact problem involving frictional heating for a thermoelastic wedge

This article is concerned with the sliding contact between a rigid thermoinsulated flat-ended punch and a thermoelastic wedge. The heat generation due to friction forces is taken into account, With help of the method of Mellin integral transforms the problem is reduced to the integral equation, which is solved numerically. The influence of the frictional heating on distributions of the contact pressure and generated temperature is presented in diagrams for different input parameters.
