CE6053Dynamics of Structures3 ch
This course covers dynamic equilibrium of strucutral engineering problems with topics including linear dynamics, discrete and continuous systems, free and forced vibration, transient reponse using numerical integration and Duhamel''s integral, and modal analysis of multi-degree-of-freedom systems. Practical problems exploring structures under dynamic loads such as earthquake, wind, and blast are covered. In addition to assignments and exams, students will complete a project of exploring an advanced concept in dynamics.
