    Calculating Friction in an L-Shaped Bar System

    Thanks again! Ah ok. *In my confused state I mix up everything.* I would like to model the setting in MSC adams software. Familiar with that software? And in order to built a valid model in MSC adams I needs the static (and dynamic) friction coefficient of the joint. A friction momen won't...

    Calculating Friction in an L-Shaped Bar System

    Hi Kerry. Thanks. It is what I am looking for, but I still cant figure it out from here. My biggest problem is: What are the other forces, beside the applied (external) force, and how do I calculate them? Especially since the (possible) movement is a circular motion - a rotation -...

    Calculating Friction in an L-Shaped Bar System

    Hi there, My question is about a measurement in the following setting: The setting: A fixed bar, in vertical postion, in connected by a joint with another bar, in a horizontal position. So together they form an L shape. I know the geometry and mass of both bars. The measurement: I...
