CE586

On successful completion of the course, the students should be able to;

1. Describe the equations of motion of a dynamic system.
2. Analyse a system for dynamic loading in frequency and time domain.
3. Demonstrate vibration control measures of structures.

1. Role of dynamic analysis in structural engineering
2. Single degree of freedom system : Equations of motion, free vibration; un-damped and damped; under damped, critical damped and over damped systems, Forced vibration; response to periodic and transient loadings
3. Multi degree of freedom system : Un-damped free vibration response, modal analysis, frequency domain response analysis, time domain response analysis
4. Vibration control of structures
