STATICS OF RIGID BODIES
Module 5
Module Title: Friction
Module Description: This module covers the determination of the frictional forces acting on a structure.
Purpose of the Module:
This module let the students analyze the internal frictional forces acting on several types of
structures. Only statically determinate structures, which do not have more supporting constraints to
maintain an equilibrium condition will be tackled in this module.
Module Guide:
Each lesson in the module begins with a pre-test to test the awareness of the students either of the
lesson itself or of the previous lesson/s needed to understand the current lesson. It is then followed by a
discussion, a set of exercises wherein answers are provided in the “Let’s Check” portion of the module
and finally with a post-test.
Link to videos and/ or other reading materials are also given to reinforce the learnings for each
lesson presented.
Module Outcomes:
1. Understand the concepts of effect of frictions on the structures.
2. Apply the principles of static equilibrium from the knowledge of resultants of forces and
moments.
Module Requirements:
At the end of this module, the students will submit the following:
1. An educational video of at least one of the lesson presented in this module.
2. Answer to all the exercises of each lesson.
3. Take a module post-test
