Results of computational experiments on investigating 
the efficiency of the algorithm proposed to solve the nonlinear inverse 
boundary-value problem of restoration of heat release in a plain bearing 
by measuring the temperature are presented. Simplified three-dimensional 
models based on the plane thermal model are proposed for practical 
use of the method of thermal diagnostics of friction in plain bearings 
as applied to the operated equipment.
