Description
Structural dynamics is a subset of structural analysis whichcovers the behavior of structures subjected to dynamic loading. Thesubject has seen rapid growth and also change in how the basicconcepts can be interpreted. For instance, the classical notions ofdiscretizing the operator of a dynamic structural model have givenway to a set-theoretic, function-space based framework, which ismore conducive to implementation with a computer. This modernperspective, as adopted in this book, is also helpful in puttingtogether the various tools and ideas in a more integratedstyle. Elements of Structural Dynamics: A New Perspective isdevoted to covering the basic concepts in linear structuraldynamics, whilst emphasizing their mathematical moorings and theassociated computational aspects that make their implementation insoftware possible. Key features: Employs a novel ‘top down’ approach to structuraldynamics. Contains an insightful treatment of the computationalaspects, including the finite element method, that translate intonumerical solutions of the dynamic equations of motion. Consistently touches upon the modern mathematical basis for thetheories and approximations involved. Elements of Structural Dynamics: A New Perspective is aholistic treatise on structural dynamics and is an ideal textbookfor senior undergraduate and graduate students in Mechanical,Aerospace and Civil engineering departments. This book also forms auseful reference for researchers and engineers in industry.
