Advanced Course in Structural Dynamics Event

Event details

Vibration can be a limiting factor on the performance, precision, durability, comfort and environmental impact of engineering structures. The potential to design structures to meet ever more demanding targets is greatly enhanced by contemporary measurement and numerical prediction tools. However, it is the engineer’s understanding of the problem and judgement in selecting and exploiting these tools to greatest advantage that helps to realise their benefits. This Advanced Course in Structural Dynamics helps delegates to fully appreciate the nature of structural dynamics and provides an overview of the potential and applicability of some measurement and analysis techniques. There is a three-day core element of the course. This is preceded by an optional two-day refresher course in the principles of vibration and acoustics. The course includes a series of presentations, and a half-day practical laboratory session.
