Applied Dynamics of Structures

This module addresses three broad topics within the Applied Dynamics of Structures. These topics are considered highly relevant for the current stage of the society development and are associated with the energy transition and modern transportation. Accordingly, the module is comprised of three units, namely:

1. Structural Response to Earthquakes
2. Dynamics of structures subjected to wind & waves
3. Dynamics of structures under moving loads

One summative assessment on module level (all units) is based on an assignment that encompasses the basics of the random vibrations and numerical modelling (both subject matters are taught to all students of the module). In addition, at the end of the quarter, one written exam per unit is held. The total number of summative assessments in this module is four.

The assessment of the module is as follows:

1. Structural Response to Earthquakes - Group Assignment (25%)

2. Dynamics of structures subjected to wind en waves - Group Assignment (25%)

3. Dynamics of structures under moving loads - Group Assignment (25%)

4. Applied Dynamics of Structures - Written Exam (25%)

A successful participation in the module, requires a minimum evaluation of 5.8 in all units.
