Course Description This course deals with more advanced topics in dynamic analysis of structural elements including beams, plates and shells. The course emphasizes numerical solutions, non-linear analysis of Multiple Degree of Freedom systems, probabilistic structural dynamics and earthquake engineering. Objectives To enable the student perform more complex dynamic analysis of structural elements such as beams,...Read More

Course Description This course deals with the theory and design of thin shell structures, using the membrane and bending theories for of shells of revolution and translation, and their application to analysis of domes, hyperbolic, paraboloid, elliptic and cylindrical shells. The course also introduces the finite element method for plate bending. Objectives To enable the...Read More
