Dynamics of Structures

Structural dynamics is the study of the behavior of structures under dynamic loads, such as earthquakes. Understanding the dynamics of structures is crucial in assessing the safety and performance of buildings and other structures. It involves analyzing how the structures respond to different loads and how they affect their stability and integrity. Engineers use various tools and techniques to model and simulate the behavior of structures under dynamic loads, which helps them design safer and more resilient structures that can withstand extreme conditions.
