An Introduction to Structural Dynamics, Experimental Modal Analysis and Substructuring

Introductory video created to provide an overview (a very high level overview) of several topics in structural dynamics for participants in the Tribo-Mecha-Dynamics research camp (TRC) or in Sandia's Nonlinear Mechanics and Dynamics (NOMAD) summer program. For further information on linear structural dynamics, see [1] or for substructuring see [2], as well as the references in the video.
