Title

Application

Learning Outcome

Students will be able to apply the theory of structural vibrations to problems in civil or mechanical engineering.

Title

SDOF Systems

Learning Outcome

Students will be able to determine the response of single degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systems in free and forced vibration, with and without damping.

Title

MDOF Systems

Learning Outcome

Students will be able to determine the response of multi degree-of-freedom (MDOF) and continuous systems in free and forced vibration, with and without damping.
