On the contact of two heated bodies

The axially symmetric Hertz thermoelastic contact problem is solved under the assumption that the contact heat resistance is inversely proportional to pressure. We consider heat flows directed both inside the body whose coefficient of thermal distortion is smaller and in the opposite direction.Warsaw University, Warsaw, Poland.
