This document provides an introduction to structural dynamics, which analyzes how structures behave under dynamic loading such as wind, waves, earthquakes, and blasts. It discusses how dynamic analysis can find displacements, time histories, and modal analyses. Examples of dynamic structural behavior include soldiers crossing a bridge to prevent harmonic excitation, the failure of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge due to vortex shedding, and the lateral synchronization seen on the London Millennium Footbridge. Single and multi degree-of-freedom systems are also introduced.

13001319072 Dynamics of Structures:- CE(PE)704A CA1 Reasons and some basic examples. Introduction
Structural dynamics is a type of structural analysis
which covers the behavior of a structure subjected to dynamic (actions having high acceleration) loading. Dynamic loads include people, wind, waves, traffic, earthquakes, and blasts. Any structure can be subjected to dynamic loading. Dynamic analysis can be used to find dynamic displacements, time history, and modal analysis. Structural analysis is mainly c o n c e r n ed with finding out the behavior of a physical structure w hen subjected to force..

The distinction is m a d e between the dynamic a n d the static

Considering Figure, the forces resisting
the applied loading are considered as: 1. A force proportional to displacement (the usual static stiffness); 2.A force proportional to velocity (the damping force); 3. A force proportional to acceleration (D’Alambert’s inertial force). We can write the following symbolic equation:- Fapplied= Fstiffness+ Fdamping+ Finertia Multi Degree of Freedom Systems. Considering Figure, we can see that the forces that act on the masses are similar to those of the SDOF system but for the fact that the springs, dashpots, masses, forces and deflections may all differ in properties. Also, from the same figure, we can see the interaction forces between the masses will result from the relative deflection between the masses; the c h a n g e in distance between them. THANK YOU
