In the case of the kinetic friction, the slip force opposes the relative movement between the contact points (which may differ from the relative movement between the bodies).
A discontinuous model simulation for train start-up dynamics
[4] carried out a research in the framework of the theory of plasticity, considered internal friction and cohesion as the variables of the plastic strain function, and proposed a hyperbolic hardening function for kinetic friction and a mixed parabolic exponential equation for kinetic cohesion.
Constitutive Model of Rock Uniaxial Damage Based on Rock Strength Statistics
The static friction coefficient and kinetic friction coefficient of each fiber were recorded at the standard testing conditions (i.e., 20[degrees]C and 60% RH).

Static friction coefficients for a given pair of surfaces usually are higher than those for kinetic friction. Most dry, clean surface combinations, including coatings, have SCOF values between 0.2 and 0.6.
Slip and friction on coated surfaces
That said, the authors did an excellent job of compiling an in-depth appendix of coefficients of static and kinetic friction. It is by far the most complete collection I have ever seen in a theatrical textbook.
