A mobile tool for teaching advanced dynamic analysis = Una aplicación móvil para el aprendizaje del análisis dinámico avanzado

摘要

The continuous advance of smartphone technologies has promoted the development of more complex and specialized mobile apps. Currently, it is possible to find several mobile apps that can be used for simple structural analysis. Here, a further step towards a newly specialized app for dynamic analysis is taken. More precisely, an app for the vibration serviceability assessment of structures has been developed, which is useful for professional practitioners and for imparting master courses on dynamic analysis. This paper presents experimental tests using the developed app, DynApp, on several in-service footbridges sited in Madrid. The tests have been done within two master courses imparted at ETSI Caminos of UPM: Experimental Analysis of Structures and Dynamic and Seismic Analysis of Structures.
