CE 568 Structural Dynamics-Syllabus

This document outlines the course structure and content for Structural Dynamics (CE 568) taught during the first semester of 1431/1432 at King Saud University College of Engineering. The course is divided into two parts, first covering single degree of freedom systems including equations of motion, free vibration, response to harmonic and arbitrary excitations. The second part addresses multi degree of freedom systems including free vibration, modal analysis, and numerical evaluation methods. Assessment is based on homeworks, a midterm exam, and a final exam. The primary textbook is Dynamics of Structures by Anil K. Chopra, with additional references provided.
