Data sets for temperature rise due to frictional heat generation during a sliding contact between an elastic particle and a rigid substrate

This dataset contains essential data from the Finite Element Method model predicting heat generation due to friction during the sliding contact between an elastic particle and a rigid substrate. Part of this data was processed and presented in an article under review for journal publication. The following is the description of the data files and the associated Figure in the original paper.

'Temp_CoeffFric_01_055.xlsx' data for temperature evolution for the nodes in the contacts and along the particle radius for various friction coefficient values (0.1-0.55).

'Temp_Load_001_01.xlsx' data for temperature evolution for the nodes in the contacts and along the particle radius for various normal load values (0.01-0.1 N).

'Temp_Vel_02_1.xlsx' data for temperature evolution for the nodes in the contacts and along the particle radius for various sliding velocity values (0.2-1 m/s).

'Temp_TC_5_100.xlsx' data for temperature evolution for the nodes in the contacts and along the particle radius for various thermal conductivity values. (i.e. 5-100 W/m K).

'Temp_HC_100_1600.xlsx' data for temperature evolution for the nodes in the contacts and along the particle radius for various thermal conductivity values. (i.e. 100-1600 J/kg K).
