Learning objectives
At the conclusion of this course students should be able to- demonstrate an understanding of fundamental concepts of structural dynamics,
- identify and specify various types of dynamic loads for structural analysis
- identify the essential parameters governing the response of structures to dynamic loads,
- apply dynamic analysis methods to practical problems in structural engineering and other disciplines
- develop computer models of structures under dynamic loading and to critically reflect on the limitations of these models
Content
- fundamentals of structural dynamic analysis for discrete and continuous structures
- free and forced vibration of single and multiple-degree-of-freedom systems
- normal modal analysis
- transient dynamic analysis by numerical integration, explicit and implicit methods
- response spectrum methods
- introduction to nonlinear dynamic analysis of structures
- design of tuned mass damper
