Structural Dynamics

This document outlines the course structure and content for a structural dynamics course taught at King Saud University. The course covers both single degree of freedom (SDOF) and multi degree of freedom (MDOF) structural systems. For SDOF systems, topics include equations of motion, free vibration, forced vibration response to harmonic, periodic, arbitrary, step, and pulse excitations. For MDOF systems, topics include equations of motion, free vibration, natural frequencies and modes, dynamic analysis using modal analysis. The course uses a textbook on structural dynamics and has assignments, a midterm, and final exam for assessment.
