Dynamics of Mechanical Structures

The analysis of complex systems is usually based on a mathematical behavior model. In particular, this model is used to predict behavior in the presence of loads that are difficult to achieve (e.g. civil engineering structures subjected to earthquakes). The course is devoted to the dynamic behavior of structures, i.e. to the study of systems in which the time variable must be taken into account.

A logical transition is made from systems with one degree of freedom to the study of the modes of structures with several degrees of freedom. These systems, which are schematizations of complex structures, are made up of a set of rigid bodies coupled by elastic or viscoelastic links. The mathematical models of these systems are described by ordinary differential equations, which will be taken up and studied in the dynamic systems course.
