Damping Velocity Coefficient, [Nm.s/rad]
When the Parts at the joint are rotating relative to each other, we use the Damping Velocity Coefficient together with the angular velocity [rad/s] of the Joint, to calculate the Torque that is needed to overcome the damping resistance
Static Friction Coefficient,
When the Parts at the joint are not rotating relative to each other, we use the Static Friction Coefficient, together with the Friction-Diameter and the Force at the joint, to calculate the Torque that is needed to begin rotating the joint.
Dynamic Friction Coefficient,
When the Parts at the joint are rotating relative to each other, we use the Dynamic Friction Coefficient, together with the Friction-Diameter and the Force at the joint, to calculate the Torque that is needed to rotate the joint.
Friction Diameter
We use the Friction Diameter, together with the Force at the joint and the Friction Coefficient, to calculate the torque needed to rotate the joint - see above.
