friction¶
-
pylook.calc.friction(shear_component, normal_component)¶ Calculate the simple friction.
- Parameters
shear_component (pint.Quantity) – Shear component of load/force/stress
normal_component (pint.Quantity) – Normal component of load/force/stress
- Returns
friction (pint.Quantity) – Simple friction value
Notes
Modifies the normal load/force/ stress to have a minimum value of 1e-16 to avoid any divide by zero warnings or negative friction values due to the normal component.
