Description
Structural dynamics has become a crucial parameter for meeting performance requirements in fields as varied as automotive, aeronautics, space and defence. The book focuses on the behaviour of structures subjected to a vibrational or shock environment. The topic is presented from an original viewpoint in order that the phenomena in question can be more clearly understood. It takes a systematic approach to the basic concepts in order to enhance understanding and to allow industrial structures to be treated with a certain degree of generality. The developments are explained with a minimum of mathematics and are frequently illustrated with simple examples before moving on to cases taken directly from industry.
