CE 314 Structural Dynamics

This course considers the analysis of structures that are subjected to time-dependent loads from blasts, machine-loads, or seismic effects. The theoretical time-series responses of single and multiple degree of freedom dynamic systems, subjected to pulse, harmonic, and generalized loadings are analyzed by closed-form solutions and/or numerical methods. The course also includes Response Spectrum Analysis, inelastic response, laboratory testing of instrumented model structures, and practical applications using professional software. Students may not receive credit for both CE 314 and ME 381
