Structural Dynamics, Analysis and Numerical Modelling

Description

The student acquires theoretical and practical insight in the process of determining the dynamics of a mechanical system by experiments and/or numerical analysis. The student is able to determine the dynamic characteristics of simple mechanical structures by executing an experimental modal analysis and building a numerical model. He/she can interprete the results of both approaches and knows the processes to combine them to one result. In this process he/she learns how to use state-of-the-art hardware and software. The student can report on the flow and results of a small scale dynamic analysis project, including experimental and numerical approaches. The student is able to carry out a literature survey on subjects related to the experimental or numerical dynamic analysis of mechanical structures.
