Minimization of the Thermal State of the Hub of a Frictional Pair Using the Criterion of Uniform Temperature Distribution on a Friction Surface

Abstract

Based on the harmonic model of a rough friction surface, the theoretical analysis of the determination of the function of the displacement of the points of a hub of the external surface and microgeometry of the friction surface ensuring the uniform temperature distribution on the contact surface is conducted. The closed set of algebraic equations is constructed, which makes it possible to solve the problem of the optimal design of a frictional pair depending on the geometric and mechanical characteristics of its elements.
