FAF3201 Advanced Structure Dynamics, Modelling and Measurements 7.5 credits

Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
- Behaviour of structural elements acted on by dynamic loads
- Dynamic vehicle-structure interaction
- Dynamic soil-structure interaction
- Fundamental signal analysis
- Field measurements for structural assessment
Intended learning outcomes
The purpose of this course is to give a deeper insight into the theory and methods for the analysis of dynamically loaded structures and demonstrates the possibilities of using modelling and field measurements to access the behaviour of existing structures.

Grading scale
Examination
- RAP1 - Project report, 7.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
The project can be presented orally or in written form, as agreed with the examiner.
Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination
Opportunity to raise an approved grade via renewed examination

Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
