Course Description In structural dynamic analysis, structures are often modeled as multi-degree-of-freedom systems and then simplified into multiple single-degree-of-freedom systems for detailed analysis. This course focuses on teaching the methods for solving single-degree-of-freedom systems and applying these solutions to the dynamic analysis of multi-degree-of-freedom systems.
