Thanks you have confirmed my suspicions, I thought it was the geometry that was holding me up and I had been using modulus of elasticity instead.
Nice to check these things though
Is there an online source for the spring constant for different materials. I think it is also known as the spring stiffness and has units n/m. It is easy to find data such as the yield of a material, but I can't any data on the spring stiffness. I am specifically looking for the spring...
I am looking for the friction coefficient between Chromium Molybdenium Steel and any other uncoated steel.
Any good resources for finding coeffs of friction.
