Abstract
This course offers a comprehensive introduction to nonlinear structural dynamics including significant nonlinear oscillators and relevant methods of solutions. It is based on a balance between theory and applications, and includes the latest advances in metastructure research. Nonlinearities, hysteretic oscillators, quasi-periodic structures and metastructures will be discussed for the vibration mitigation of industrial components and small modular reactors.
Theoretical classes will be complemented by numerical exercises and lab experiments.
Course Format
The Course is taught in 🇬🇧️ ENGLISH and offered
- On-site
- On-line (synchronous and asynchronous) with video recordings, hand-outs, etc. of the lectures available off-line
