Course Aims
This course aims to:
1) develop an understanding of vibration problems in structural engineering;
2) develop a basic understanding of stability and buckling problems in simple structures;
3) develop an understanding of Eigenvalue problems in structural mechanics.
Intended Learning Outcomes of Course
By the end of this course students will be able to:
1) derive critical frequencies and mode shapes for simple vibrating structural systems;
2) compute buckling loads and shapes for beams and framed structures;
3) solve Eigenvalue problems in structural mechanics.
