The course aims at providing basic knowledge for the understanding of linear and nonlinear dynamical behaviors of structures. The introduction of the course will be dedicated to the modeling of dynamical systems, including the identification of the kinematic descriptors of the motion, the characterization of the constitutive behavior of a structure and the actions acting on it. Paradigmatic structural models will be then introduced to discuss the main dynamic phenomena arising both in the linear and in the nonlinear regime. The free and the forced dynamic response of one and multi degree-of-freedom systems will be discussed. Applications will be proposed by referring to case studies implemented in software able at performing symbolic analysis.
