| 101-0117-00L | Theory of Structures III | 3 credits | 2G | B. Stojadinovic | |
| Abstract | This course focuses on the axial, shear, bending and torsion load-deformation response of continuous elastic prismatic structural elements such as rods, beams, shear walls, frames, arches, cables and rings. Additional special topics, such as the behavior of inelastic prismatic structural elements or the behavior of planar structural elements and structures, may be addressed time-permitting. | ||||
| Learning objective | After passing this course students will be able to: 1. Explain the equilibrium of continuous structural elements. 2. Formulate mechanical models of continuous prismatic structural elements. 3. Analyze the axial, shear, bending and torsion load-deformation response of prismatic structural elements and structures assembled using these elements. 4. Determine the state of forces and deformations in rods, beams, frame structures, arches, cables and rings under combined mechanical and thermal loading. 5. Use the theory of continuous structures to design structures and understand the basis for structural design code provisions. | ||||
| Content | This is the third course in the ETH series on theory of structures. Building on the material covered in previous courses, this course focuses on the axial, shear, bending and torsion load-deformation response of continuous elastic prismatic structural elements such as rods, beams, shear walls, frames, arches, cables and rings. Additional special topics, such as the behavior of inelastic prismatic structural elements or the behavior of planar structural elements and structures may be addressed if time permits. The course provides the theoretical background and engineering guidelines for practical structural analysis of modern structures. | ||||

| Abstract | Fundamentals of structural dynamics are presented.

Practical solutions to vibration problems in flexible structures excited by humans, machinery, wind and explosions are developed. | ||||

Use dynamics of structures to identify the basis for structural design code provisions related to dynamic loading. | ||||
| Content | This is a course on structural dynamics, an extension of structural analysis for loads that induce significant inertial forces and vibratory response of structures. Dynamic responses of elastic and inelastic single-degree-of-freedom, continuous-mass and multiple-degree-of-freedom structural systems subjected to harmonic, periodic, pulse, impulse, and random excitation are discussed. Theoretical background and engineering guidelines for practical solutions to vibration problems in flexible structures caused by humans, machinery, wind or explosions are presented. Laboratory demonstrations of single- and multi-degree-of-freedom system dynamic response and use of viscous and tuned-mass dampers are conducted. | ||||
