Abstract
Based on the generalized Fourier method used simultaneously in the spherical and cylindrical systems of coordinates, we suggested an analytical method for solving the contact problem of thermoelasticity for an elastic half‐space with a rigid spherical inclusion. The problem is reduced to an infinite system of linear algebraic equations with the Fredholm operator provided that the boundary surfaces do not intersect. An approximate solution of the system in the form of a series with respect to a small parameter is obtained. The numerical analysis of the problem is presented.
