Structural Dynamics: Concepts and Applications focuses on dynamic problems in mechanical, civil and aerospace engineering through the equations of motion. The text explains structural response from dynamic loads and the modeling and calculation of dynamic responses in structural systems. A range of applications is included, from various engineering disciplines. Coverage progresses consistently from basic to advanced, with emphasis placed on analytical methods and numerical solution techniques. Stress analysis is discussed, and MATLAB applications are integrated throughout. A solutions manual and figure slides for classroom projection are available for instructors.
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., ...
The use of COSMOS for the analysis and solution of structural dynamics problems is introduced in this new edition.
Based on the author's lectures at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, this concise textbook presents an exhaustive treatment of structural dynamics and mechanical vibration.
In addition, this book serves the practicing engineer as a primary reference. This book is organized by the type of structural modeling.
The book begins by discussing free vibration of single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systems, both damped and undamped, and forced vibration (harmonic force) of SDOF systems.
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 offers a comprehensive introduction to the theory of structural dynamics, highlighting practical issues and illustrating applications with a large number of worked out examples.
The two-volume work, Structural Dynamics Fundamentals and Advanced Applications, is a comprehensive work that encompasses the fundamentals of structural dynamics and vibration analysis, as well as advanced applications used on extremely ...
This book also forms a useful reference for researchers and engineers in industry.
Covering single and multiple-degree-of-freedom systems while providing an introduction to earthquake engineering, the book keeps the coverage succinct and on topic at a level that is appropriate for undergraduate and graduate students.
