Abstract
The rapid development of internet technology has pushed mankind to shift towards virtual platforms, and this increasing popularity has paved its path into the conventional teaching-learning process. Hence, it has now become essential to extend the traditional hands-on laboratories to the online platform. With this idea of incorporating e-learning, a virtual structural dynamics laboratory has been developed. Virtual laboratory (VL) acts as an interface on which users can perform simulated experiments and obtain authentic results without limitation of trials. At present, many technologies are being used to develop virtual labs. In the current study, MATLAB was used to develop this tool. For ease of understanding, this tool has been divided into different modules. Data such as material and cross-sectional properties are obtained from the user which is analysed to produce the responses of the structure. This VL intends to perform all the experiments mentioned in the manual of NPEEE, MHRD like Free Vibration of Single degree of freedom (S.D.O.F) System, Vibration of Multi degree of freedom (M.D.O.F) System, Torsional Response of Building, Continuous Systems, etc. With the help of this platform, a learner with basic knowledge of structural dynamics can visualize and interpret the dynamics of a structure.
