Objectives

The dynamic analysis of structures using modal synthesis and finite element methods has found a large number of industrial applications (aeronautics, automotive, shipbuilding, rail, civil engineering). The main goal of this course is to present these methods in a general framework by carrying out in parallel and in interaction a numerical approach and an experimental approach based on vibratory tests. Model correction and the influence of damping are also discussed.
