Course content
Various vibrations occur to structures in accordance with the environmental and natural conditions. Any vibration will be analyzed by structural dynamics. Structural dynamics is also used to analyze the vibration characteristics of the structures, and it is essential to design structures with sufficient performance against dynamic force.
This lecture is intended for the vibration theory on the linear/non-linear single-degree-of-freedom system and the vibration theory on the linear multi-degree-of-freedom system. And this is also intended to acquire the basic knowledge of the seismic theory and the seismic design of the structures.
This lecture is an internship related course that students can learn basic ideas and knowledges required for performing structural calculations based on time history response analyses in practical business related to the seismic design of structures.
Purpose of class
The purpose of this lecture is to understand the vibration theories on the single-degree-of-freedom system and on the linear multi-degree-of-freedom system, and acquire the basic knowledge of the seismic theory and the seismic design of the structures.
Goals and objectives
  1. Acquire the basic knowledge to confirm the safety for dynamic external force acting on structures
  2. Understand and describe correctly hysteresis characteristics to represent elasto-plastic properties
  3. Understand and describe correctly engineering meaning and features of numerical integration methods
