Dynamics of Structures

A handbook covering a variety of analysis tools from the traditional to the most up-to-date. Of great practical use to civil, mechanical and aeronautical engineers, this book comprehensively covers a wide range of analytical techniques and includes workable examples and exercises in each chapter. Topics covered include: formulation of the equations of motion using the principles of both vector mechanics and analytical mechanics free vibration response determination of frequencies and mode shapes forced vibration response to harmonic and general forcing functions numerical integration of the equations of motion frequency domain analysis analysis of continuous systems wave propagation analysis.Humar, J.
