§1.Characteristics of Dry Friction
- Definition
• Friction: force that resists the movement of two contacting
surfaces that slide relative to one another
• Friction force always acts tangent to the surface at the points
of contact and is directed so as to oppose the possible or
existing motion between the surfaces

Engineering Mechanics – Statics 8.03 Friction
The heat generated
by the abrasive
action of friction
can be noticed
when using this
grinder to sharpen
a metal blade
Regardless of the weight
of the rake or shovel that
is suspended, the device
has been designed so
that the small roller holds
the handle in equilibrium
due to frictional forces
that develop at the points
of contact, 𝐴, 𝐵, 𝐶
§1.Characteristics of Dry Friction
- Types of friction
• Fluid friction exists when the contacting surfaces are
separated by a film of fluid (i.e.,gas or liquid)
Fluid friction is studied in fluid mechanics
• Dry friction or Coulomb friction (C.A. Coulomb, 1781) occurs
between the contacting surfaces of bodies in absence of a
lubricating fluid

§1.Characteristics of Dry Friction
- Theory of dry friction
• Development of frictional force 𝐹
+ Consider a pulling force 𝑃 applied to a block of uniform
weight, 𝑊, resting on a rough horizontal surface
+ Under the effect of 𝑃 and 𝑊, two reacting forces are developed
normal force perpendicular to the rough surface: 𝑁 = ∑𝑁𝑖
frictional force parallel to the rough surface: 𝐹 = ∑ 𝐹𝑖HCM City Univ. of Technology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Nguyen Tan Tien

• Equilibrium 𝑊+ 𝑃 + 𝑅𝑠 = 0
𝑊 𝑥 − 𝑃 ℎ = 0
• Impending function
+ 𝐹 increases with increase in applied force 𝑃 till 𝐹 reaches to a
maximum value, called limiting frictional force 𝐹𝑠𝐹𝑠 = 𝜇𝑠𝑁 𝜇𝑠: the coefficient of static friction

§1.Characteristics of Dry Friction
• Motion
+ When 𝑃 > | 𝐹𝑠|, 𝐹𝑠 gets significantly reduced, body starts moving
+ The frictional force which acts between the rough surface
and the body under motion is called kinetic frictional force 𝐹𝑘𝐹𝑘 = 𝜇𝑘𝑁 𝜇𝑘: the coefficient of kinetic friction
+ Angle of kinetic friction
𝜙𝑘 = 𝑡𝑎𝑛−1 𝐹𝑘/𝑁 = 𝑡𝑎𝑛−1𝜇𝑘

§1.Characteristics of Dry Friction
+ 𝜇𝑠 depends on the contact materials. Some typical values
metal on ice 𝜇𝑠 = 0.03 ÷ 0.05
wood on wood 𝜇𝑠 = 0.30 ÷ 0.70
leather on wood 𝜇𝑠 = 0.20 ÷ 0.50
leather on metal 𝜇𝑠 = 0.30 ÷ 0.60
aluminum on aluminum 𝜇𝑠 = 1.10 ÷ 1.70
• The variation of the frictional force 𝐹 versus the applied load 𝑃
+ 𝐹 is a static frictional force if
equilibrium is maintained
+ 𝐹 is a limiting static frictional force
when it reaches a maximum value
needed to maintain equilibrium
+ 𝐹 is termed a kinetic frictional force when sliding occurs at
the contacting surfaceHCM City Univ. of Technology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Nguyen Tan Tien
Engineering Mechanics – Statics 8.08 Friction
§1.Characteristics of Dry Friction
- Cause of friction
• Friction is mainly caused by the surface roughness of the
objects in contact to each other. In general applies: the
rougher the surface, the higher the friction
• If both surfaces become ultra-smooth, friction from molecular
attraction comes into play, often becoming greater than the
mechanical friction
• There is especially the case with soft materials, like rubber
and other soft synthetics: soft materials will deform when
under pressure, material deformation is also increasing the
friction
HCM City Univ. of Technology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Nguyen Tan Tien
Engineering Mechanics – Statics 8.09 Friction
§1.Characteristics of Dry Friction
- Characteristics of dry friction (Coulomb’s dry friction law)
• The frictional force acts tangent to the contacting surfaces in
a direction opposed to the motion or tendency for motion of
one surface relative to another and is proportional to the
normal force 𝑁
+ slipping at the surface of contact is about to occur 𝐹𝑠 = ↑↓ 𝑂𝑥
𝜇𝑠|𝑁|
+ slipping at the surface of contact is occurring 𝐹𝑘 = ↑↓ 𝑂𝑥
𝜇𝑘|𝑁|

Engineering Mechanics – Statics 8.10 Friction
§1.Characteristics of Dry Friction
• The coefficient of friction depend on
+ both friction partners (material composition, surface roughness)
+ the surface conditions (cleanliness, humidity)
+ time of contact
• The coefficient of friction does not depend on
+ the contact surface area
+ normal contact pressure
+ the relative velocity between two contact surfaces
• The maximum static frictional force is generally greater than
the kinetic frictional force for any two surfaces of contact.
However, if one of the bodies is moving with a very low
velocity over the surface of another, 𝐹𝑘 becomes
approximately equal to 𝐹𝑠, i.e., 𝜇𝑠 ≈ 𝜇𝑘

§2.Problems Involving Dry Friction

• No apparent impending motion
+ The number of unknowns = The number of available
equilibrium equations
+ Determine the frictional forces from the equilibrium equations
+ Check the numerical value of 𝐹
If 𝐹 ≤ 𝜇𝑠𝑁, the body will not remain in equilibrium
If 𝐹 > 𝜇𝑠𝑁, slipping will occur
+ Example
The bars will remain
in equilibrium if
𝐹𝐴 ≤ 0.3𝑁𝐴

• Impending motion at all points of contact
+ The number of unknowns = The total number of available
equilibrium equations + The total number of available
frictional equations, 𝐹 = 𝜇𝑁
+ When motion is impending at the points of contact, then
𝐹𝑠 = 𝜇𝑠𝑁 whereas if the body is slipping, then 𝐹𝑘 = 𝜇𝑘𝑁

equilibrium equations + The total number of available
frictional equations or conditional equations for tipping
+ Several possibilities for motion or impending motion will
exist and the problem will involve a determination of the
kind of motion which actually occurs

Available equations
Six equilibrium equations
One of two possible static frictional equations
This means that as 𝑃 increases it will either cause
slipping at 𝐴, no slipping at 𝐶: 𝐹𝐴 = 0.3𝑁𝐴, 𝐹𝐶 ≤ 0.5𝑁𝐶
slipping occurs at 𝐶, no slipping at 𝐴: 𝐹𝐶 = 0.5𝑁𝐶, 𝐹𝐴 ≤ 0.3𝑁𝐴The actual situation can be determined by calculating 𝑃 for
each case and then choosing the case for which 𝑃 is
smaller

Engineering Mechanics – Statics 8.15 Friction
§2.Problems Involving Dry Friction
- Impending tipping versus slipping
As 𝑃 increases the crate will either be on the verge of slipping
on the surface (𝐹 = 𝜇𝑠𝑁) or if the surface is very rough (large
𝜇𝑠) then the resultant normal force 𝑁 will shift to the corner
HCM City Univ. of Technology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Nguyen Tan Tien
Engineering Mechanics – Statics 8.16 Friction
§2.Problems Involving Dry Friction
• How can we determine if the block will
slide or tip first?
• In this case, we have four unknowns
(𝐹,𝑁,𝑥 and 𝑃) and only three equations
of equilibrium
• We have to make an assumption to
give us another equation (the friction
equation!). Then we can solve for the
unknowns
• Finally, we need to check if our
assumption was correct

§2.Problems Involving Dry Friction
- Equilibrium versus frictional equations
When the frictional equation 𝐹 = 𝜇𝑠𝑁is used in the solution of a problem, 𝐹 must always be shown acting with
its correct sense on the free-body

Engineering Mechanics – Statics 8.19 Friction
The applied vertical force 𝑃 on this roll must be
large enough to overcome the resistance of
friction at the contacting surfaces 𝐴 and 𝐵 in order
to cause rotation
§2.Problems Involving Dry Friction
- Example 8.1 The uniform crate has a mass of 20𝑘𝑔. If a
force 𝑃 = 80𝑁 is applied to the crate, determine if it remains in
equilibrium. The coefficient of static friction is 𝜇𝑠 = 0.3
Solution

+↺∑𝑀𝑂 = 0: −𝑊𝑠𝑖𝑛250 ×0.75+

Since slipping impends at 𝜃 = 250
𝐹 = 𝐹𝑠 = 𝜇𝑠𝑁
or
𝑊𝑠𝑖𝑛250 = 𝜇𝑠𝑊𝑐𝑜𝑠250
⟹ 𝜇𝑠 = 𝑡𝑎𝑛250 = 0.466
Note: we can show that the
vending machine will slip
before it can tip as observed

§2.Problems Involving Dry Friction
- Example 8.4 Beam 𝐴𝐵 is subjected to a uniform load of
200𝑁/𝑚 and is supported at 𝐵 by post 𝐵𝐶. The coefficients of
static friction at 𝐵 and 𝐶 are 𝜇𝐵 = 0.2 and 𝜇𝐶 = 0.5. Determine
the force 𝑃 needed to pull the post out

Post slips at 𝐵 and rotates about 𝐶
𝐹𝐶 ≤ 𝜇𝐶𝑁𝐶,𝐹𝐵 = 𝜇𝐵𝑁𝐵 = 0.2×400= 80𝑁
⟹ 𝑃 = 320𝑁, 𝐹𝐶 = 240𝑁, 𝑁𝐶 = 400𝑁
Since 𝐹𝐶 =240> 𝜇𝐶𝑁𝐶 =0.5×400 =200𝑁,
slipping at 𝐶 occurs ⟹ other case of
movement must be investigated
Post slips at 𝐵 and rotates about 𝐶
𝐹𝐵 ≤ 𝜇𝐵𝑁𝐵, 𝐹𝐶 = 𝜇𝐶𝑁𝐶 = 0.5𝑁𝐶
⟹ 𝑃=267𝑁,𝐹𝐶 =200𝑁,𝑁𝐶 =400𝑁,𝐹𝐵 =66.7𝑁
This case occurs first since it requires
a smaller value for 𝑃HCM City Univ. of Technology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Nguyen Tan Tien

Engineering Mechanics – Statics 8.28 Friction
§2.Problems Involving Dry Friction
𝐹𝐴𝐶 = 1.155𝑃, 𝐹𝐵𝐶 = 0.5774𝑃
𝐹𝐴 = 0.5774𝑃, 𝑁𝐴 = 𝑃 + 29.43
𝐹𝐵 = 0.5774𝑃, 𝑁𝐵 = 88.29𝑁
Movement of the system may be caused by
the initial slipping of either block𝐴 or block𝐵
Assume that block 𝐴 slips first
𝐹𝐴 = 𝜇𝑠𝑁𝐴 = 0.3𝑁𝐴
⟹ 0.5774𝑃 = 0.3(𝑃 + 29.43) ⟹ 𝑃 = 31.8𝑁
𝐹𝐵 = 0.5774 × 31.8 = 18.4𝑁
Since the maximum static frictional force at 𝐵
𝐹𝐵𝑚𝑎𝑥 = 𝜇𝑠𝑁𝐵 = 0.3 × 88.29 = 26.5𝑁 > 𝐹𝐵
block 𝐵 will not slip. Thus, the above assumption is correct
Note: If the inequality were not satisfied, we would have to
assume slipping of block 𝐵 and then solve for 𝑃HCM City Univ. of Technology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Nguyen Tan Tien

§3.Wedges
• Start by analyzing the free body diagram in which the
number of unknowns are less than or equal to the number of
equations of equilibrium and frictional equations
• If the object is to be lowered,
then the wedge needs to be
pulled out
• If the value of the force 𝑃needed to remove the wedge is
positive, then the wedge is self-

on its own

§4.Frictional Forces on Screws
- Self Locking Screw
• A screw is self-locking if it remains in place under any axial
load 𝑊 when the moment 𝑀 is removed
• In this case 𝑅 acts on the other side of 𝑁
• If 𝜙𝑠 = 𝜃, then 𝑅 will act vertically to balance 𝑊,
and the screw will be on the verge of winding
downwards
HCM City Univ. of Technology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Nguyen Tan Tien
Engineering Mechanics – Statics 8.45 Friction
§4.Frictional Forces on Screws
- Downward Impending Motion
• If a screw is self-locking, a couple 𝑀′ must be applied in the
opposite direction to wind the screw downward
• 𝜙𝑠 > 𝜃
• This causes a horizontal force in the reverse
direction that will push the thread downwards
• Using the previous procedure it can be shown
that 𝑀′ = 𝑟𝑊𝑡𝑎𝑛(𝜃 − 𝜙𝑠)
HCM City Univ. of Technology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Nguyen Tan Tien
Engineering Mechanics – Statics 8.46 Friction
§4.Frictional Forces on Screws
• If the screw is not self-locking it is necessary to apply a
moment 𝑀" to prevent the screw from winding downwards
• 𝜙𝑠 < 𝜃
• A horizontal force 𝑀′/𝑟 is required to push
against the thread to prevent it from sliding
downwards
• The magnitude of the moment required to
prevent this unwinding is 𝑀" = 𝑟𝑊𝑡𝑎𝑛(𝜙𝑠 − 𝜃)

Engineering Mechanics – Statics 8.47 Friction
§4.Frictional Forces on Screws
- Example 8.7 The turnbuckle has
a square thread with a mean radius
of 5𝑚𝑚 and a lead of 2𝑚𝑚. If the
coefficient of static friction between
the screw and the turnbuckle is
𝜇𝑠 = 0.25, determine the moment 𝑀that must be applied to draw the
end screws closer together 2𝑘𝑁
Since friction at two screws must be overcome, this requires
𝑀 = 2 × 𝑟𝑊𝑡𝑎𝑛(𝜙𝑠 + 𝜃)
where 𝑤 = 2000𝑁, 𝑟 = 5𝑚𝑚
𝜙𝑠 = 𝑡𝑎𝑛−1𝜇𝑠 = 𝑡𝑎𝑛−1(0.25) = 14.040
𝜃 = 𝑡𝑎𝑛−1(𝑙/2𝜋𝑟) = 𝑡𝑎𝑛−1(2/(2𝜋 × 5)) = 3.640
⟹ 𝑀 = 2 × 5 × 2000𝑡𝑎𝑛 14.040 + 3.640 = 6374.7𝑁𝑚𝑚
