These slides were prepared as a basic outline of topics on Structural Dynamics presented in an introductory course offered by the Mechanical Engineering Department. The course consisted of 20 fifty-five-minute sessions that were recorded on video tape for TV playback. This appendix contains copies of the slides used in the video tape sessions. The lectures covered topics such as: formulation of the equation of motion for single-degree-of-freedom systems; undamped and damped free vibration response; characteristics of earthquakes; response to earthquake loading; modeling of multiple-degree-of-freedom systems; mode superposition analysis; and response spectra analysis.
