Kinetic and static friction force measurement between magnetic tape and magnetic head surfaces
Technique measures interlayer adhesion in spacecraft data storage tape to avoid blocking. An unwind force is exerted on the spool, and the displacement before breakaway of the weighted outer layer is used to calculate the peel-off force necessary. This technique also can have terrestrial applications.
