THERMAL DIAGNOSTICS OF FRICTION IN CYLINDRICAL CONNECTIONS. I. ALGORITHM OF THE ITERATION SOLUTION OF AN INVERSE BOUNDARY-VALUE PROBLEM
N. P. Starostin and A. S. Kondakov UDC 621.89:536.24 An algorithm for restoration of the intensity of heat release that results from the friction of cylindrical connections is suggested. The thermal diagnostics of friction in cylindrical connections is considered with the example of identification of the friction power in sliding bearings made of a polymer composite material from temperature measurements.
