No prior knowledge of structural dynamics is assumed, and the presentation is detailed and integrated enough to make the text suitable for self-study. As a textbook on vibrations and structural dynamics, this book has no competition.
Attachment modes were defined by Bamford[17.3], and they get their name from their usefulness in representating the deformation of a structure to loading at the point where the attachment mode's unit force is applied (e.g., ...
Dynamic Analysis of Structures reflects the latest application of structural dynamics theory to produce more optimal and economical structural designs.
This straightforward text, primer and reference introduces the theoretical, testing and control aspects of structural dynamics and vibration, as practised in industry today.
This book lays the foundation of knowledge that will allow a better understanding of nonlinear phenomena that occur in structural dynamics.
The book integrates the development of fundamental theories, formulas, and mathematical models with user-friendly interactive computer programs that are written in MATLAB.
The large number of illustrative examples and exercise problems are of great assistance in improving clarity and enhancing reader comprehension. The text aims to benefit students and engineers in the civil, mechanical and aerospace sectors.
The use of COSMOS for the analysis and solution of structural dynamics problems is introduced in this new edition.
The first part of this text may be used as a one semester course for 3rd year students in Mechanical, Aerospace or Civil Engineering. The second part of the text is intended for graduate classes.
