✦ Synopsis

The plane steady contact problem of tbermoelasticity when there is heat generation from friction, which arises when an infinite cylindrical punch moves wer the surface of an elastic half-space along its genera& is considered. It is assumed that heat exchange between the free boundary of the half-space and the surrounding medium obeys Newton's law, while the condition for ideal thermal contact exists in the region in which the solids interact. The problem is reduced to a system of three integral equations in the heat fluxes and temperature. The effect of the thermal and mechanical properties of the cylinder and the half-space on the main contact characteristics is investigated numerically.
