Course Content:

 

476 Introduction to Structural Dynamic Systems. Dynamic response of single degree of freedom (SDOF) systems and Multi-Degree of freedom (MDOF) systems will be covered. Elastic and inelastic response to harmonic, arbitrary loadings and ground motions (including response spectra) will be covered in depth. Advanced topics in linear systems theory such as Fourier and Laplace transform methods and state space methods will be introduced.

576 Introduction to structural dynamic systems and control. Linear systems and control theory, transform methods, state space methods, feedback control, observers and identification. Applications using MATLAB. Demonstrations and laboratory examples. Students in CEVE/MECH 576 (GR version) will be required to do more advanced assignments and a project. UG/GR equivalent: CEVE 476.
