On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to: | |
1 | Evaluate dynamic behaviour of beam structures through FE analysis and experimental measurements |
2 | Evaluate dynamic behaviour of structures from experimental data and experimental modal analysis |
3 | Appraise shape functions and element formulations for higher order elements such as beams and plates. |
4 | Apply FE package to model selected structural non-linearities. |
