    Advanced Structural Dynamics, Modelling and


    Measurements

    (KTH graduate course FAF3201, 7.5 ECTS credits)

    Content and Objectives


    The purpose of this course is to give engineers, scientists and researchers a deeper insight into
    the theory and methods for the analysis of dynamically loaded structures. The course also
    demonstrates the possibilities of using modelling and field measurements to assess the
    behaviour of existing structures. Practical implications of recent research developments will
    be stressed.

    Aim
    The aim of the course is to give knowledge on:
     Behaviour of structural elements acted on by dynamic loads
     Solution procedures for linear and non-linear problems
     Human induced vibrations
     Dynamic vehicle-structure interaction
     Soil dynamics and soil-structure interaction
     Stochastic processes with application in wind engineering
     How to use field measurements to assess structures
     Signal analysis
     Operational modal testing and analysis

    Prerequisites
     Passed basic course in structural dynamics
     Experience in MATLAB programming

    Target Audience
     MSc students, PhD students, teachers and researchers in engineering.
     Practising engineers, wanting to learn about structural dynamics, assessment of
    structures, vehicle-structure-soil interaction and analysis of measured signals.
    This course can also be of great interest for professionals in the building and civil engineering
    sector as a part of specialist training.

    Organisation of the course
    The course is organised by:
     Professor Raid Karoumi, The Division of Structural Engineering and Bridges, KTH
    Royal institute of Technology, Sweden
     Professor Rune Brincker, Aarhus School of Engineering, Aarhus University, Denmark
     Associate Professor Anders Brandt, Department of Technology and Innovation,
    University of Southern Denmark.
    The course will be given in two concentrated blocks (8th–11th June and 17th–20th August
    2015) with lectures and one field test on a bridge in Stockholm (see preliminary timetable on
    the last page). The first day in each block starts at 10 am and the last day ends at 3 pm. The
    course will be given in English.
    Apart from the scheduled teaching, the participants are expected to do independent homework
    in the form of analytical problem solving, computer based exercises and a written project
    report/paper.
    The course venue is KTH Royal institute of Technology, Department of civil and architectural
    engineering. Brinellvägen 23, Stockholm, Sweden (see www.kth.se). The field test will be
    performed on a pedestrian bridge in Stockholm.

    Examination
    The course corresponds to 7.5 ECTS credits. To pass the course the student must perform the
    homework and a project task (bridge test). All must be documented and accepted. At least
    80% participation on the course is needed. The student will get the grade pass or not pass.

    Literature
     Anders Brandt, Noise and Vibration Analysis: Signal Analysis and Experimental
    Procedures, John Wiley & Sons.
     Selected journal papers and other texts handed out during the course.
    The following literature is also recommended
     Cook, Malkus and Plesha, Concepts and applications of finite element analysis, John
    Wiley & Sons.

    Registration
    Registration for the course should be made no later than 30th April 2015 by e-mail to
