Content, progress and pedagogy of the
module
Learning objectives
Knowledge
- Understand how kinematics of different structural elements are
related to general continuum mechanics
- Have an understanding of fundamental properties of structural
systems with emphasis on their impact on the dynamic response
- Have knowledge about fundamental theories and methods for
analysis of dynamic structural response
- Have an understanding of the solution procedure in Finite
Element Analysis of linear elastic dynamic problems
- Have a basic knowledge and understanding of experimental work
related to dynamic testing of structures
Skills
- Use correct terminology for structural dynamic analysis
- Based on general continuum mechanics, be able to formulate a
model for a given structural problem and based on the assumed
kinematics, to establish a finite element formulation with the aid
of the principle of virtual work
- Be able to analyze the dynamic response of
single-degree-of-freedom systems
- Be able to analyze the dynamic response of structures in time
domain and frequency domain
- Be able to conduct modal analysis of structures
- Develop and implement a Finite Element Software code for
analyzing the dynamic response of a given structure
- Be able to plan and set up a test for determining dynamic
structural response
Competences
- Be able to analyze the dynamic response of a structure
- Be able to select appropriate analysis methods for the analysis
of dynamic structural response
- Be able to compare results obtained from different analysis
methods and be able to judge the quality of the results
- Be able to quantify errors associated with different types of
analysis and evaluate the methods regarding assumptions and
simplifications
Type of instruction
The program is based on a combination of academic,
problem-oriented and interdisciplinary approaches and organized
based on the following work and evaluation methods that combine
skills and reflection:
- Lectures
- Classroom instruction
- Project work
- Workshops
- Exercises (individually and in groups)
- Teacher feedback
- Reflection
- Portfolio work
Extent and expected workload
Since it is a 5 ECTS course module, the work load is expected to
be 150 hours for the student
Exam
