Structural Dynamics Concepts

Depending on the nature of the impact on the structure, loads are divided into static and dynamic. Loads are considered static if they change very slowly (with an infinitely small increment in time), without jolts or impacts. Dynamic loads are those that can change their magnitude, direction or position in relatively short periods of time. […]

Structural Dynamics: Essential Knowledge for Civil Engineers

Structural dynamics is crucial for understanding how structures respond to dynamic loads such as earthquakes, wind, and vibrations. A solid grasp of these principles helps civil engineers design resilient and safe structures.
