An physicomechanical properties experimental study of the modern antifriction materials number was performed as part of the work. The 6 polymers and composites based on them having the greatest prospects for use as antifrictional coatings and interlayers in contact nodes are selected. The materials showed a nonlinear deformation behavior model in experimental study of samples. Therefore, the deformation theory of elastic-plasticity for the active loading case is chosen to describe the material behavior model in the framework of the first approximation. A numerical model of deformation of cylindrical samples under constrained compressionan experiment has been constructed. The optimal finite element mesh with a gradient decrease in the element size to the contact area of the cylindrical samples with the press plates has been selected. As part of the numerical experiments series, it was established: samples deformations from modern antifriction composite materials by 25–30 % more than other polymers considered, with one level of contact parameters; the modulus of the maximum contact tangential stress of all the materials examined is on average 25 times lower than the contact pressure.
