Abstract
One-dimensional heat conduction problem of friction for two bodies (half spaces) made of thermosensitive materials was considered. Solution to the nonlinear boundary-value heat conduction problem was obtained in three stages. At the first stage a partial linearization of the problem was performed by using Kirchhoff transform. Next, the obtained boundary-values problem by using the method of lines was brought to a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, relatively to Kirchhoff’s function values in the nodes of the grid on the spatial variable, where time is an independent variable. At the third stage, by using the Adams's method from DIFSUB package, a numerical solution was found to the above-mentioned differential equations. A comparative analysis was conducted (Och, 2014) using the results obtained with the proposed method and the method of successive approximations.
