... in a numerical scheme designed to provide a full thermomechanical solution for real layered contacts. The model assumes steady state heat transfer and predicts contact pressures and deformations, contact temperature rise, and resulting thermal stresses. The heat division between the contacting components...

... of the maximum contact temperature it must be pointed out that the results according to selected theoretical models vary significantly and that with some models much higher temperatures can be calculated, which support the above explanations. • A sharp boundary and a great difference in microstructure...
