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
