No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1967–68 to 1971–72 (before that, 1963–64 to 1966–67 used the number for Advanced Theory of Structures); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Basic concepts of instability of a structural system, bifurcation, energy increment, snapthrough, methods of finding critical loads, post-buckling behaviour, buckling of imperfection sensitive structures, dynamic instability of nonconservative systems.
As printed in the 1970–71 to 1971–72 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.

Titled Stability and Dynamics of Structures.
Elementary and advanced problems in stability of frameworks, rings, arches, plates and shells. General theory of stability of equilibrium of conservative and non-conservative systems. Stability of motion. Free and forced vibrations of linear damped and undamped structures with a finite number of degrees of freedom. Wind oscillations and earthquake response.

Another title: Advanced Theory of Structures, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).
Numerical methods in structural analysis. Advanced problems in stability of frames, trusses and their components. Dynamic loadings and shock effects. Vibrations.
