No formal requirements over and above the admission requirements.

None

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge:

The student:

• has knowledge to establish equation of motion for SDOF and MDOF systems
• has knowledge to model structural damping
• has knowledge to compute the key-concepts related to structural dynamics, such as natural frequencies, mode shapes, damping and vibration characteristics of structures.
• has in-dept knowledge about the assumptions and limitations of the structural dynamics theory.

Skills:

The student

• is capable of recognizing physical phenomenon in the context of structural vibration
• can formulate the equation of motion for dynamics analysis of structures
• can establish necessary matrices for the equation of motion, stiffness, mass and damping matrix
• can calculate response from harmonic and transient loads
• can use computer programming tools (e.g. Matlab) to perform modelling and dynamic analysis of simple structural systems
• can conduct dynamic analysis using commercially available software.

General Competence:

The student is able to:

• design structures with the consideration of structural dynamics.
• solve engineering problems in the context of structural dynamics
• assess the need for dynamic analysis in structural design
• characterize the dynamic properties of a structure such as natural periods and mode shapes.

The teaching will consist of lectures and voluntary exercises.

None

Portfolio assessment subject to the following requirements:

1. Project report prepared in groups of 1-2 students. Approximately 20-30 pages
2. Four individual assignments

Each student’s work will be assessed together as portfolio with one individual grade at the end of the semester, but both parts that make up the portfolio must be assessed as "pass" in order for the student to pass the course. The overall assessment can be appealed.

All aids allowed.

Graded scale A-F.

One internal examiner. External examiners is used regularly.
