News
For the next class on May 8, please watch the videos on Vibration Isolation.
Old news
- For the next class on April 24, please watch the videos on Damping and Tuned Mass Dampers. The instructions for the project defenses on May 15 are available (bottom of the page), as well as copies of Eurocode 8 and 1 related to parasismic and wind projects.
- For the next class on April 17, please watch the videos on Vibrations Problems and Design and Remedial Measures.
- For the next class on Wednesday March 27, please watch the videos on Flow Induced Vibrations and Turbulent wind excitation. The course will start at 10h.
- For the next class on Wednesday March 20, please watch the videos on Dynamic response computation and Response spectra. Note that as last week, the class will be at 8h in building R42, there is a switch of schedule with the course Sustainability in Construction of Prof. Snoeck.
- We will start using the finite element software finElg, make sure you have done the process of installation (described below)
- For the next class on Wednesday March 13, please watch the videos on continuous systems and reduction to SDOF systems. Note that the class will be at 8h in building R42, there is a switch of schedule with the course Sustainability in Construction of Prof. Snoeck. Note that it will be the same next week.
- Also do not forget to start the process of installing the finite element software finElg, and in case of problem, please contact Yves Duchêne.
- For the next class on Wednesday March 6, please watch the two videos : MDOF systems and Finite Element models.
- For the next class on Feb 28, please watch the end of the video on Single Degree of Freedom systems (from slide 40), and the video on Vibration Sources.

Exercises
We will be using the open software Octave (https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/), which can be downloaded here (free) : https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/download.html
For what we will be doing, the language is the same as MATLAB, so you are free to use either of the two softwares.
For the students who have never used Matlab/Octave, we advise to do the introduction session below, which is written for Matlab but fully compatible with Octave.
Please bring your own laptop with you for these exercise session.
Project
For the project, we will be using a combination of Matlab/Octave and the finite element software FinElg, see instructions to install here
