Use of Modern Materials in Technological Processes Accompanied by Frictional Heating

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:
1) Analytical modeling of the frictional heating process in systems made of homogeneous and functionally gradient materials (FGMs) [1-7];
2) Numerical simulations of the temperature mode of railway brake systems [8, 9];
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];
4) Inverse thermal problems of friction [12];
5) The influence of friction on the stress distribution in a composite containing thin elastic homogeneous inclusions, or that made of FGM [13, 14].
