This is driven by the trend towards lighter, more vibration-prone structures, the growth of business in earthquake regions, the identification of new threats such as terrorist attack and the increased availability of sophisticated dynamic ...
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., ...
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 provides engineering students with an understanding of the dynamic response of structures and the analytical tools to determine such responses.
The use of COSMOS for the analysis and solution of structural dynamics problems is introduced in this new edition.
No prior knowledge of structural dynamics is assumed and the manner of presentation is sufficiently detailed and integrated, to make the book suitable for self-study by students and professional engineers.
This text provides an introduction to structural dynamics and aeroelasticity, with an emphasis on conventional aircraft.
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.
The use of COSMOS for the analysis and solution of structural dynamics problems is introduced in this new edition.
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.
