Use of Modern Materials in Technological Processes Accompanied by Frictional Heating

<p>This reprint contains 14 articles published in the Special Issue Use of Modern Materials in Technological Processes Accompanied by Frictional Heating. These articles can be divided into five groups:</p><p>1) Analytical modeling of the frictional heating process in systems made of homogeneous and functionally gradient materials (FGMs) [1-7];</p><p>2) Numerical simulations of the temperature mode of railway brake systems [8 9];</p><p>3) Experimental studies and numerical simulations of the influence of various types of additives added to the friction material in the wet clutch disc [10 11];</p><p>4) Inverse thermal problems of friction [12];</p><p>5) The influence of friction on the stress distribution in a composite containing thin elastic homogeneous inclusions or that made of FGM [13 14].</p>
