Learning outcomes of the course unit

Knowledge and understanding:
At the end of the course, the student will acquire the theoretical basis and the application tools for calculating the response of structures subjected to dynamic loads of different types (vibration, shock/impact, wind, earthquake, etc.).

Applying knowledge and understanding:
At the end of the course, the student will have acquired the ability to understand and model the dynamic behavior of engineering structures, in order to assess their degree of safety.

Communication skills:
At the end of the course, the student should have acquired a command of the technical language to allow a proper and effective presentation of the results.

Prerequisites

It is suggested to have attended the courses of Advanced Structural Analysis and Numerical Methods for Structural Analysis.
It is useful to have knowledge of MatLab software and familiarity with commercial software based on finite element method.

Course contents summary

Single-degree-of-freedom systems. Free-vibration response (undamped and damped vibrations). Response to harmonic, periodic, impulsive and general dynamic loading. Damping. Elastic-plastic systems.
Multi-degree-of-freedom systems. Free vibrations (natural frequencies and modes), principal coordinates. Damping matrix. Uncoupled equations of motion. Mode-superposition procedure. Methods for the step-by-step integration of the equations of motion. Non-linear systems.
Distrubuted-parameter systems. Free vibrations of beams under bending.
Discretization methods: Rayleigh-Ritz method, finite element method.
Seismic loading. Definition of response spectrum.
Dynamics of frames under seismic loading. Modal analysis of plane and space frames.

Teaching methods

The course consists of theoretical lessons and practical exercises. For each topic, exercises are planned so that the student can deal with the resolution of the problems previously formulated in theoretical form.
The theoretical lessons and practical exercises are carried out on the blackboard together with the showing of slides, which are available on the portal elly.dia.unipr.it.

Assessment methods and criteria

The assessment of student learning is formulated on the basis of a final written exam followed by a brief oral discussion. To be admitted to the final exam, the student has to solve an home assignment.
The final exam is weighted as follows:
- 50% application of the theory to exercises (applying knowledge and understanding);
- 30% theoretical questions (knowledge and understanding);
- 20% clarity of presentation (communication skills).

Other informations

It is strongly recommended to attend lessons.
