Description
A concise introduction to the principles and practices of structural dynamics
This hands-on textbook lays out essential structural dynamics concepts and computational methods. The textbook reinforces key concepts and connects theoretical formulations to civil engineering practice. Detailed, step-by-step examples cover all essential aspects of structural dynamics. Written by a pair of experts, Essentials of Structural Dynamics is ideal for both students and practicing engineers who need to brush up on current techniques and computing tools. The book includes access to a various digital ancillaries, including image galleries, PowerPoint lecture notes, and MATLAB scripts.
Coverage includes:
An introduction to structural dynamics
Flexural and shear stresses in lateral force resisting portal systems
Free vibration of undamped single degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systems
Free vibration response of SDOF systems with viscous damping
Forced vibration response of SDOF systems to harmonic loading
Forced vibration response of SDOF systems to general dynamic loading
Approximate analysis for short-duration excitation pulses
Vibration of generalized SDOF systems with distributed mass and stiffness
Discrete and continuous systems analysis
Vibration of multi degree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems
Forced vibration of MDOF systems
And much more
