The presence of near-surface inclusion or void are known to have detrimental effects on the tribological failure in rolling and sliding contact elements, such as bearings, rollers and rails etc.. This paper deals with the two-dimensional stress analysis in the half-space involved in a void or an rigid inclusion, subjected to the rolling-sliding contact with frictional heating. The complex variable formulation of Muskhelishivili is used to reduce the problem to a Fredholm integral equation. Attention is focused on the stress concentration due to the inclusion or void. The effects of the frictional coefficient and the depth of the inclusion or void on the stress concentration are considered numerically.
