Simulation of Wave Processes under Conditions of Friction of Rough Surfaces (Review)

We show that, under conditions of friction, there arise heat, deformation, and acoustic waves. We also describe the nature of their onset and analyze the statistical distribution of regular and irregular roughness on an actual discrete contact surface for different levels of structure and dimensions. We substantiate the possibility of development of new heat-dynamic models of temperature flashes with regard for the periodic discreteness of actual friction surfaces.
