Mechanically generated heat can be defined as heat produced by mechanical processes, involving motion and deformation of matter. In this entry, we will mostly focus on heat generated by deformation in elasto-viscoplastic solids as well as by frictional contact. These heat sources play a significant role in many industrial processes, such as metal forming and friction welding.
