Physics of Vibrations Course
This course equips you with essential knowledge in vibration physics for engineering structures, particularly steel pedestrian footbridges. You'll master single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) modelling, damping evaluation, resonance prediction, acceleration-based comfort verification, and practical retrofit strategies to ensure serviceability and safety in dynamic environments.
