Using the methods of mathematical simulation, the characteristic 
features of a stationary temperature field in a cooled plane isotropic 
wall subjected to local frictional heating from a circular source 
in the regime of spinning friction are investigated. The possibility 
of the existence of an optimal wall thickness which ensures a minimum 
temperature of its most heated point has been established.
