Steel friction reference
Steel friction reference
(OP)
Does anyone have a copy of this reference.
page3-55 table 3.2 of "Esbach's Handbook of Engineering Fundamentals", Fourth Edition, 1990 by Byron B. Tapley.
Would appreciate a copy of table 3.2
Thanks

Slighthly off thread--I can't believe the book is going for 12 bucks. I believe my dad paid over $60 for the one he gave me 20 years ago!

Nominally identical joints in an automotive assembly setting can show variations of a factor of 2.

RE: Steel friction reference
in the absence of actual experimental data, what you are left with is 'anything.' I have my 3rd edition of Eshbach here, there is no page 3-55, nor is there a table 3.2. My reference has one table, chapter 4. Mechanics of Rigid Bodies, Section 26, Friction: Static and Kinetic Friction. Table 1 is titled "Coefficients of Static and Kinetic Friction." For steel on steel, static friction (remember this is the ratio of the force needed to get a block started divided by the normal force between the block and the platform where the block rests) is 0.15, sliding friction is listed as 0.09 for velocity of 10 ft. per second, 0.03 for velocity of 100 ft. per second. This table is from Hudson's Manual, p. 102. I have no idea what Hudson's Manual is.

do you still need that table? I can't be certain that my table in Edition 3 is the same as the Edition 4 table you have requested; I'd be happy to send scanned in (2 pages) of the friction section, which includes a friction coefficient table for various material couples, if you like. drfea@yahoo.com for your request.
