TRAINING COURSE INVITATION

This training provides an overview of structural dynamics testing and analysis, which is the single most important discipline to understand and optimise the dynamic behaviour of structures. The underlying techniques and applications – including the most up-to-date ones – are explained in an easy-to-understand manner with focus on practical aspects. Throughout this training course, case studies will be presented and demonstrations will be performed.

The ENMO Academy organizes this training course (in the English language) on Tuesday, June 4th, 2019 from 9.30hrs – 16.45hrs (registration from 9.00hrs) at the ENMO Headquarters (Antwerpsesteenweg 49, Vosselaar, nearby Turnhout).
