CE 5502 - Structural Dynamics (3)

Formulate discrete single-degree and multiple-degree vibratory systems and determine the free and forced response of these systems. Determine response of SDF systems to arbitrary or ground motion by Duhamel integral and time-stepping integration methods. Mode shapes and frequencies for the free response of continuous vibratory systems and forced response of these systems. Dynamic analysis of multiple-degree-of-freedom (MDF) systems using modal superposition and spectral modal analysis. Linear and nonlinear seismic analyses.
