Course Description

This course provides in greater depth the fundamental mathematics to investigate and/or describe the advanced dynamic behavior of systems. In addition to the advanced structural dynamics, this course introduces some of the techniques related to smart structures such as system identification, structural control, and structural monitoring. The topics will be taught including Continuous Systems, Introduction to FEM, Fourier Transform, Data Acquisition and Signal Processing, Random Vibrations, Sensors, System Identification, Damage Detection, Introduction to Passive Control, Nonlinear Analysis, Active Control, Semiactive Control, Hybrid Simulation.  

Course Objective
Students will have advanced knowledge of structural dynamics. Also, Students will learn how to acquire responses from sensors and data acquisition systems, to turn the measurements into useful information, and to employ this information for structural health monitoring. Moreover, Students will learn how to design a control system based on passive, active, or semi-active devices and to realize a control system in a structure.
