The limiting strength in the compression of composites based on an epoxy resin matrix with dis perse inclusions (graphite, E glass, copper, and iron) is simulated on the basis of the generalized singular approximation of random field theory, using the stress concentration operator and data regarding the strength of the epoxy matrix.

Methods of increasing the wear resistance and reliability of friction units are generating considerable interest being a vital factor in transport, mechanical engineering, and other fields of technology. The solution of the given problem is impossible without the creation of self-regulating structures on the friction contact surfaces. We strongly believe that this problem can be solved by creating multicomponent functional layers (hereafter MFL) on tribocontact.
