Coefficient of Frictions
Has any one done recent tests of different materials and their coefficient of frictions. I have read about people that proclaim that they have done tests, but I have yet to see any raw data, which is nice to have for calculations. I know a lot of guesses have been thrown out, but it would be nice to have some static and dynamic coefficient of friction values for materials like the bare wheel chair wheels, gum rubber on wheels, pneumatic wheels, etc. Thanks for any help.
