摘要

In this study, a thermo-mechanical finite element model was developed for the response of a thermal asperity sensor sliding against a disk asperity. The temperature change of the thermal asperity sensor due to frictional heating was determined. The effect of disk asperity material properties and contact conditions is investigated.
