Objectives of the Course In the course, the linearly elastic structures are idealized with a single-degree-of-freedom (SDF) and multi-degree-of-freedom (MDF) systems. Dynamic response and internal forces of these structures subjected to dynamic load are obtained. A primary aim of the course is to give students the solution methods for dynamic behaviour of the structures.
