Laboratory of Digital Models in Structures and Construction

Structural Dynamics

The Structural Dynamics course  250704 explores the behavior of structures subjected to dynamic forces, focusing on laboratory-based experimentation to reinforce theoretical concepts.

Key aspects of the course include:

  • Single-Degree-of-Freedom Systems (SDOF) – Experimental analysis of free vibrations and response to harmonic or arbitrary oscillations.
  • Measurement & Signal Processing – Application of sensor-based techniques for capturing structural responses under dynamic excitation.
  • Experimental Dynamic Characterization – Using advanced data acquisition and signal processing methods to assess the dynamic properties of structures.

Through hands-on experimentation, students gain practical experience in measuring, analyzing, and interpreting structural vibrations, providing essential skills for fields such as earthquake engineering, modal analysis, or vibration-based techniques.
