After successful completion of the course, students are able to independently perform dynamic calculations of building structures under the action of earthquakes (e.g. using the response spectrum or nonlinear pushover analysis), wind and machines using deterministic and probabilistic methods. In addition to theoretical preparation, current computer programs (e.g. MATLAB and MATHEMATICA) are used.
Modal analyis of structures. Calculation of natural frequencies and mode shapes by means of numerical methods. Special problems of seismic excitation. Modal earthquake response spectra. Application to single and multiple excitation. Vibration isolation. Problems of design with emphasis on wind and earthquake excitation. Basic concepts of stochastic processes. Engine-induced oscillations.
All PDF documents are made available in TUWEL or TISS and remain accessible to all registered students until the end of the semester.
The lecture units are presented in presence in the lecture hall. Due to the infection process, there may be changes in the LVA mode.
