Engineering Physics Annotation << Back DETERMINATION OF FRICTION POWER IN SLIDING BEARINGS BY TEMPERATURE DATA A.S. KONDAKOV, N.P. STAROSTIN, M.A. VASILYEVA The authors suggest determining of the work expended for friction by restoring the friction heat generation in sliding bearings according to temperature measurements in a contact zone on the basis of mathematical simulation of thermal process and solution of the boundary-value inverse problem. Keywords: Friction, heat generation, temperature, sliding bearings, inverse problem, iterative regularization, stability. E-mail: eowadia@rambler.ru
