Course Overview

Joining the Structural Dynamics online course by Swayam will help you understand how a structure responds, particularly buildings, to different dynamic loads. Loads such as earthquakes, machine vibration, wind, and ambient vibration.

The complete Structural Dynamics certification syllabus has been spread over 12 weeks and divided into different modules which are delivered online. This course is a civil engineering course and categorized as a core course.

Moreover, Swayam provides the Structural Dynamics online course at the UG level and comprehensively covers the fundamentals of structural dynamics. Other core topics included in the curriculum are Free Vibration of SDOF, Forced Vibration of SDOF, and Response to Arbitrary Motions.

The entire Response Spectrum and Earthquake Response of MDOF systems are also explored in detail, allowing you to have a firm grasp over structural analysis. Moreover, you can earn a course certificate to testify your newly acquired learnings on completing the Structural Dynamics course.

Eligibility Criteria

Education

A basic understanding of Structural Analysis and engineering mathematics is necessary to excel in the Structural Dynamics program.

Certification Qualifying Details

Besides, Swayam offers course certificates to all eligible candidates. You must submit all the 12 in-course assignments on time and take the certification exam towards the course end. Your final score will be determined by adding 75% of your certification exam score and 25% of your average assignment score.

Swayam will calculate your average assignment score using eight assignments with the best marks. Moreover, your final score for the Structural Dynamics course must be >= 40/100 while the average assignment score >= 10/25 and exam score >= 30/75.
