Lectures

Goal

The goals of the course are derived so that students can: 1) get to know the basics in the postulations of the theory of elasticity 2) get to know the theory of plates 3) understand the problems in dynamics of structures 4) get practical skills for performing analysis in structural dynamics

Outcome

The successful completion of the course means that student got: 1) skills which can apply in practice (analysis, synthesis, formulation of the equivalent model; development of the critical approach); 2 specific skill (usage of the gained theoretical knowledge in solving the practical problem in the field of dynamics of structures of material handling machines) 3) scientific work in the field of moving load dynamics

Theoretical teaching

Introduction notes upon the characteristic structural solutions (trusses and beams) material handling machines. Basic equations of the theory of elasticity. Basics in theory of plates. Finite element method (beam/truss, plate/shell, solid). Dynamics of structures. Moving load problem.

Practical teaching

Formulation of the dynamic models of the different crane structures and their identification. Modal analysis at finite element models of the crane structures and bucket wheel excavator structure. Postulation of the forced vibration, implementation in model and analysis of the structural responses. Consultations for seminal work.
