Structural Dynamics

Structural Dynamics

OBJECTIVE:

The objective of the course is to understand the behaviour of structure especially building to various dynamic loads: such as wind, earthquake, machine vibration and ambient vibration.

PRE-REQUISITE:

Basic understanding of structural analysis and knowledge of engineering mathematics.

HIGHLIGHTS OF COURSE:

Dynamic equilibrium equation of structures; Response of a single degree of freedom system to dynamic excitation: free vibration, harmonic loads, pulses and earthquakes; Generation response spectra; Response of multi-degree of freedom systems; Vibration control technique; Dynamic behaviour of non-structural element.
