CE 6102:Structural Dynamics

3 Class Hours 0 Laboratory Hours 3 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: CE 3201 (or equivalent) or approval of instructor
Analysis of the dynamic response of structures and structural components to transient loads and foundation excitation; single-degree-of-freedom and multi-degree-of-freedom systems; response spectrum concepts; structural response to earthquakes, design criteria, and seismic safety.

  • Estimate the fundamental natural frequency of simple structures.
  • Determine the vibration characteristics of simple systems.
  • Determine the resonance response of systems.
  • Determine dynamic response of simple structures under a general forcing function.
  • Use response spectra for earthquake loading.
  • Investigate multiple-degrees of freedom systems.
  • Model simple systems for earthquake analysis.
