Structural dynamics is the study of how structures respond to loads that vary rapidly with time. This text focuses on linear elastic structures, explaining how to calculate/estimate the key dynamic properties of simple structures, and outlining principles used by finite element programs to analyse the dynamics of more complex structures.

The Essential Knowledge Series is a core resource (primarily for structural engineering students but a useful refresher for more senior engineers) covering fundamental topics from structural materials to computer analysis. Student Members and members of the Institution's Academic Community can download the series for free at: www.istructe.org/essential-knowledge

<h4>Essential Knowledge Text No.15 Approximate analysis of skeletal structures</h4>

Essential Knowledge Text No.15 Approximate analysis of skeletal structures

Some form of approximate analysis remains essential for both the conceptual design of structures and verification of final (computer) analysis. This text presents simple approaches to the approximate analysis of two-dimensional skeletal structures.

<h4>Essential Knowledge Text No.13 Behaviour of beams and two-dimensional frames</h4>

Essential Knowledge Text No.13 Behaviour of beams and two-dimensional frames

This is an introduction to the understanding of structural behaviour - applied to two-dimensional, mainly redundant frames. It demonstrates a qualitative approach, with an emphasis on a diagrammatic solution consisting of the detected shape, reactions and bending moment diagrams. A clear convention is established for the axes and diagrams, which is key to understanding structural behaviour.

<h4>Essential Knowledge Text No.12 Flexure and flexural structures</h4>

Essential Knowledge Text No.12 Flexure and flexural structures

This text is an introduction to the most important aspects of flexure in structures. A description of the widespread use of flexural elements and structures is followed by an introduction to the modelling and analysis of beams, slabs and frames. The text then discusses the use of four common structural materials in flexural elements and structures.
