Students, who pass the course satisfactorily will be able to:
make modal analysis of damped and undamped multi degree of freedom systems to determine free and forced vibration responses
obtain and use various forms of frequency response functions (FRFs)
understand the relation between spatial, modal and response mathematical models of linear structures
obtain reduced mathematical models of large structures
expand experimentally measured mode shape data
compare theoretical modal data/FRFs with experimental counterparts by using the metrics developed for this purpose
use structural coupling and structural modification methods in order to reduce computational effort for the analysis of large structures
apply modal identification techniques to determine modal models of MDOF systems
obtain modal models for nonlinear MDOF systems and use them in harmonic response analysis
