Plane contact problem of a punch sliding over a half-space is considered. The surface of the half-space is assumed to be rough and the roughness heights have the Gaussian distribution. The heat generation due to the friction is taken into account. The problem is reduced to nonlinear integral equations which are solved approximately. The effects of the frictional heating and the roughness on the contact size and on the contact pressure are presented.
