The paper deals with the contact problem under nonlinear friction described by the system of integro-functional equations \[ \lambda \int^t_a\varphi(p(\tau)) d\tau+ {2\over\pi} \int^b_a p(\tau)\ln{1\over|\varepsilon- t|} d\tau= c-f(t), \] \[ \int^b_a p(\tau)d\tau= {\pi\over 2},\quad a<t<b,\quad p(a)= p(b)= 0,\quad\lambda\geq 0, \] with respect to the sought function \(p(t)\). Reducing this system to an operator equation the authors justify the iterative Newton-Kantorovich method for its solution. The main theorem proved states the uniqueness of the solution in question and the convergence of successive approximations to it. Additionally, the convergence rate is estimated in the norm of a Hölder class.
