In today's episode, Shini tells us about Static and Kinetic friction. Why is it hard to move a heavy bookcase across a carpeted floor? And why is it easier to keep it moving than it was to get it ...

Keywords: Seismic performance. Nonstructural components. Static friction coefficient. Kinetic friction coefficient. Rigid blocks. Block-type components. Tilt and pull tests. Dynamic analyses.

Irregularities present on a surface are often described as surface roughness or texture. These surface textures such as grooves and dimples impart friction, which is the force between two sliding ...
