Dynamics and Stability of Structures
The modern structures must be precisely analysed for both global and local stability in connection with geometrical and material nonlinearities. Engineering structures are subjected to various dynamic loads. The aim of the offered course “Structural Dynamics and Stability” is to give all necessary knowledge for design of modern structures.
