Dynamics of Structures II

General

Course Contents

Generalized sdof systems. Static condensation and Static correction metods. Rayleigh-Ritz methods.
Non-classically damped systems. Dynamics of inelastic structure. Earhquake response of baseisolated buildings.
Frequency-domain method of elastic response analysis. Introduction to random vibration.

Educational Goals

Determine the dynamic behaviour of complex structural systems (in both time and frequency
domains). Understand, model and compute the nonlinear dynamic response of structures exposed to
various environmental loads Clarify and evaluate the effect of randomness of environmental loads.

Students Evaluation

The evaluation of the students is composed of marks
collected from different parts of the teaching process, as
follows:
