Introduction to Dynamics of Structures
Today we have an introduction to the topic of Dynamics of Structures, by some definitions, the discussion of different Dynamic Loadings and different type of Analysis and the different tecniques needed to write the equation of motion. Finally we'll start discussing the single most useful model of dynamic behaviour, the Single Degree Of Freedom system (or SDOF) and the solution of the free vibration problem for the SDOF.
