Abstract
The analytical solution is obtained to a thermal problem of friction for a tribosystem consisting of two plane-parallel strips. It is assumed that the relative sliding speed is constant, and the thermal contact between the strips is imperfect. The possibility of using the obtained solution to the study of temperature during braking was shown. The evolution of the contact temperature and its spatial distribution in materials of frictional pair such as metal-ceramic—cast iron was investigated.
