Structural Dynamics

Catalog description

Vibrations of elastic structures: Single degree and mul-ti-degree-of-freedom systems; free and forced vibration; harmonic, im-pulsive and arbitrary loading; lumped parameter models. Analysis of dynamic response: Modal superposition; Numerical integration: introduc-tion to inelastic behavior. Structural response to earthquake and wind loads. Damping characteristics of structures: Viscous, Viscoelastic and Friction Damping. Tuned mass dampers, passive energy dissipation systems.
