Aims

To get knowledge from the structure vibration theory, acquire appropriate terminology, recognize advantages of the alternatives to the dynamic analysis models, utilize up-to-date solving methods. Skills can be used as a basis for the real design of dynamically loaded structures; the theoretical knowledge helps to understand dynamic analyses implemented in modern computational programs based on FEM.
