It's only a very small part of the whole thesis and should therefore be as compact as possible.

Hello everybody! I'm looking for publications (dissertations, articles in journals,... whatever is scientifically based) concerning the temperature between sliding surfaces. I need this information for my own bachelor's thesis and I need to calculate the temperature expected on the contact surface between two bodies. These two bodies will be rubbing against each other at high speed. Body 1 will be some defined steel, Body 2 will consist of the same steel coated with a thin film of some friction-reducing material. So what I am looking for is in the ideal case some formula, where I can put in my materials' parameters and get the contact temperature. But any publication that's close to this is also welcome. I have been searching the web of course, but I thought perhaps there might be someone here who has some concrete idea where I could find an answer to my problem. Thank you for any helpful response!
