Abstract: | We propose a method of solution of problems of thermoelasticity for an inhomogeneous half-space. We assume that Poisson's
ratio of a material in the half-space is constant, and Young's modulus and the coefficients of linear thermal expansion and
thermal conduction vary exponentially with distance from the surface of the half-space. As an example, we consider the contact
problem on sliding an inhomogeneous body along the surface of a rigid base with regard for frictional heating.
