Back Cover Copy
This book provides engineering students with an understanding of the dynamic response of structures and the analytical tools to determine such responses. This comprehensive text demonstrates how modern theories and solution techniques can be applied to a large variety of practical, real-world problems. As computers play a more significant role in this field, the authors emphasize discrete methods of analysis and numerical solution techniques throughout the text.
FEATURES - Covers a wide range of topics with practical applications
- Provides comprehensive treatment of discrete methods of analysis
- Emphasizes the mathematical modeling of structures
- Includes principles and solution techniques of relevance to engineering mechanics, civil, mechanical, and aerospace engineering
Reader ReviewsThe scope and content of the book is very appropriate for a beginning student in structural dynamics, and the organization is very nice. I think the book strikes a good balance of coverage between civil and mechanical engineering subject matter. However, a serious flaw of the book at least in the first printing (and the only printing as far as I can tell) is the exceptional number of typographical errors it contains. I would give more stars if an edition with the typos fixed were to appear.
