🚀 Course Title: Dinámica Estructural IV: Análisis No Lineal
🎓 Course Headline: Fundamentos, métodos y aplicación en la comprensión de estructuras y mecanismos no lineales

Course Description

Welcome to Dinámica Estructural IV: Análisis No Lineal! Until now, you've mastered the analysis of structures that behave elastically and exhibit small deformations without material plasticity under dynamic loading. However, there are scenarios where structures or mechanisms may present large deformations, nonlinear equations of motion, or materials that plastify under dynamic loads.

This course is designed to equip you with the foundational knowledge required for tackling more complex phenomena such as Structural Dynamics and Engineering Seismics. Given the intricacy of these subjects, learning will be centered around detailed problem-solving exercises, a comprehensive review of dynamics concepts, reinforcing ideas on energy methods, and hands-on programming with MATLAB and simulation using Simulink.
