Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module students will:
   
• be able to recognize forces and force effects and represent them both in graphs and mathematically.
  
• be able to derive equilibrium conditions and determine bearing forces and moments.
  
• be able to determine the internal force and moment effects for given external forces.
  
• know the physical principles of friction and be able to determine under which conditions a system with frictional forces is stable.
