Where can I find data to approximate coef of friction?
Where can I find data to approximate coef of friction?
(OP)
I'm modeling a safety brake for an elevator and is kind of difficult to measure the coefficient in such a thight area. The rail contains brown rust and the approximate load applied by the brakes would be 10,000 lbs. I have search a couple of approximations but I don't know how much does the rust affect the friction coef.
