Abstract: One of the ways to improve the functional properties of sliding friction pairs is to apply heterogeneous rubbing surfaces. Although this approach is still under investigation, heterogeneous surfaces are commonly employed in friction pairs under extreme lubrication conditions. The paper is concerned with the modeling of the friction process of flat textured sliding surfaces.
