Hi All,
Apologies if this is posted in the wrong category... wasn't quite sure where to place it.
I'm trying to calculate the holding capacity of a heavy duty ratchet strap and the effect it would have being wrapped around a cylindrical object (steel bollard or scaffold tube), using the Euler-Eytelwein Capstan equation. To do so, i need to find a suitable friction coefficient for flat, 50mm wide polyester ratchet strap/webbing sling on steel.
There appears to be quite a bit of literature out there for ropes around bollards, obviously due to Maritime interest, but i suppose what i'm after is quite 'niche'. There are lots of strapping articles which point towards BS EN 12195, but i'm afraid i don't have access to it.
Possibly a long-shot, but if anyone could offer any suggestion at all, it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Wise
