OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS
Objectives of the Course Unit:	This course aims to gain advanced theory on the modeling of the dynamic response of structures to examine the free and forced vibration behavior of structural systems.
Contents of the Course Unit:	Free vibration behavior of single degree and multi-degree freedom systems, damped and undamped forced vibration behavior and ground motion state, classification of the dynamic loads, and generating the mathematical models which govern the dynamic response of structural systems are topics of this course.

KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE UNIT (On successful completion of this course unit, students/learners will or will be able to)
To be able to generate and solve the equations of motion of single and multi-degree-of-freedom systems.
To be able to do the modal analysis of structures.
To be able to perform vibration analysis of structural systems.
