✦ Synopsis

The plane contact problem of an elastic thermally conducting cylinder sliding over the surface of a thermoelastic half-space is considered. The problem is analysed with the convective cooling of the cylinder surface in separation region and non-ideal thermal contact between bodies. The problem is formulated in terms of three governing integral equations with unknown pressure and contact temperatures. The equations are solved numerically, using the Gauss-Jacobi and trapezoidal-rule quadratures. The effect of Peclet's number, Biot's number and the thermal conductivities of the temperature fields and the load required to maintain the contact path at a fixed value are investigated.
