COURSE OUTLINE
NPTEL
Engineering and an advanced elective course at the undergraduate level in
most Civil Engineering programme at most universities in India.
The present Structural Dynamics course introduces the basic concepts of http://nptel.iitm.ac.in
dynamic loading and the response of structures to such loads, and then uses
these concepts to illustrate applications in practical structures.
It begins with the derivation of the basic equations of motion for an ideal single Civil Engineering
degree-of-freedom structure using various approaches, and the solution of these
equations for different types of loading, with the emphasis on the physical
behaviour of the structure to different types of loads to establish simplified
methods of analysis (Topic 2). Pre-requisites:
A focus on the numerical methods for response analysis is given in Topic 3, and
an emphasis on earthquake response of structures is provided in Topic 4. 1. Structural Analysis at UG level.
