3. Dynamic of Structure and Earthquake engineering:

 Single degree of freedom system: Free vibrations and Forced vibrations:
 Multi-degree of freedom system: Forced vibrations of lumped MDOF Systems (solving
by Newark method, state space, Runge–Kutta and …)
 Beam under vibration
 Using Simulink in solving of vibration systems

4. Soil-Structure Interaction:

5. Control of structure:

8. Theory isotropic and orthotropic plate and laminated composite plate

 Finite different method in solving of plate deflection
 Fourier series in solving of plate deflection
 Bucking analysis of plate and laminated composite plate by Rayleigh–Ritz method,
Frobenius method, Differential Quadrature and …
 Optimization in laminated composite plate
 Piezoelectric Materials

9. Applications of shape memory alloys in engineering structures

10. Reliability based design of structures

11. Linking MATLAB and other software
