The aim of this course is to introduce students to the concepts and techniques involved in structural dynamics and their practical applications in structural and mechanical engineering. This course begins with an introduction of the dynamics of simple structures and then develops the fundamental knowledge of vibration analysis of multi‐degree‐of‐freedom structures and continuous structures. It covers explicit and implicit time‐integration methods as essential tools for computational structural dynamics analyses. Students will develop an understanding of the nature of dynamic loads produced by typical sources and acquire the ability to assess the response of structures to such loads. They will also develop the ability of applying commercial (finite element) software to structural dynamics.
