Abstract:
This course offers a comprehensive introduction to nonlinear structural dynamics, including significant nonlinear oscillators and the main methods used to determine their solutions.
Balancing theoretical foundations and engineering applications, the course also presents recent advances in metastructure research.
Nonlinearities, hysteretic oscillators, quasi-periodic structures, and metastructures will be investigated, with particular attention to vibration mitigation in industrial components and small modular reactors.
Theoretical lessons will be complemented by numerical exercises, hands-on tutorials, and laboratory experiments.
Course Format
The course is taught in ๐ฌ๐ง ENGLISH and offered:
– On-site
– Online, in synchronous and asynchronous modes
Video recordings, hand-outs, and additional learning materials are available offline.
What You’ll Learn
- The fundamental principles and concepts of multifunctional metamaterials
- The differences between volumetric metamaterials and surface metamaterials, including metasurfaces
- The characteristics of soft and hard surfaces
- How periodic and quasi-periodic structures are organized and analyzed
- Advanced modeling and simulation techniques for periodic and quasi-periodic structures
- Advanced design methods for synthesizing innovative metamaterials
- How microscale unit cells determine the macroscopic properties of artificial materials
- How multifunctional metamaterials can be applied across electromagnetic, acoustic, mechanical, and other engineering fields
