# Structural Dynamics

## CIVL-6450

Analysis of elastic and inelastic single and multiple degree-of-freedom structural systems under time-dependent loads including harmonic, impulse, earthquake, and other general dynamic loads. Development of equations of motion. Analytical and numerical evaluation of free and forced vibration response. Identification of dynamic system properties. Modal analysis. Vibration isolation and force transmissibility. Dynamic measurement sensors. Shock loading spectrum. Frequency-domain analysis.
