Integrated course unit module: DYNAMIC ANALYSIS AND SEISMIC DESIGN OF STRUCTURES

Learning objectives

The aim of this course is to present the fundamental tools for evaluating the response of a structure submitted to dynamic loads.

Prerequisites

Course unit content

Single-degree-of-freedom systems. Free-vibration response (undamped and damped vibrations). Response to harmonic, periodic, impulsive and general dynamic loading. Elastic-plastic systems.
Multi-degree-of-freedom systems. Free vibrations (natural frequencies and modes), principal coordinates. Damping. Uncoupled equations of motion. Mode-superposition procedure. Methods for the step-by-step integration of the equations of motion. Non-linear systems.
Distrubuted-parameter systems. Free vibrations of beams under bending. Free vibrations of plates.
Discretization methods. Rayleigh-Ritz, finite elements.
Dynamics of frames.
