CEME 3001 - Computer Analysis of Structures and Structural Dynamics

North Terrace Campus - Semester 1 - 2021

The objective of this course is to make students aware of the concepts used in 1) computer aided analysis of ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ and 2) dynamic analysis of ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥. Computer aided analysis topics include: basic theory and formulation of matrix method of analysis based on stiffness approach; and application of these theories to linear analysis of 2D/3D trusses, frames and grillage. Students will use commercial software as well as develop their own computer program to analyse different ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥. Dynamic analysis the topics include: basic theories of free and forced vibration of ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ idealised as single and multiple degree-of-freedom problems with and without consideration of damping; application of these theories to dynamic analysis of different ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥; and response spectra.
