Administer About course

Course offerings are missing for current or upcoming semesters.
Headings with content from the Course syllabus SE2116 (Autumn 2007–) are denoted with an asterisk ( )

Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

The course will give the student knowledge of theoretical and numerical methods for analysis of dynamically loaded structures including applications.

Intended learning outcomes

After the course, the participant should be able to

- explain concepts used in the course for dynamic problems

- use Fourier series and spectra as working tools in dynamic analysis

- describe the dynamics of thin beams, plates with or without membrane loads

- solve dynamic model problems with analytical methods

- use FE-analysis to determine eigen frequencies and modes.

Examination and completion

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

Grading scale

A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Examination

  • BER1 - Project, 1.5 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
  • LAB1 - Laboratory Task, 1.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
  • ÖVN1 - Assignments, 3.0 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.

Other requirements for final grade

Project (BER1; 1,5 university credits)
Assignments (ÖVNA; 3 university credits)
Laboratory work (LABA; 1,5 university credits)

Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary 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.
