In this free online course, learn about the modelling and systems analysis involved in Structural Dynamics. In this free online course you will learn that structural dynamics is the study of the behavior of structures under dynamic loads. The course covers topics such as vibrations, damping and pulse excitations. You will then explore the differences between static and dynamic analysis and how to model a dynamic system. Enhance your civil engineering knowledge and skills, by studying this comprehensive online course.
