Dynamics Of Structures, Third Edition

This major textbook provides comprehensive coverage of the analytical tools required to determine the dynamic response of structures. The topics covered include: formulation of the equations of motion for single- as well as multi-degree-of-freedom discrete systems 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; dynamic analysis of continuous systems;and wave propagation analysis. The key assets of the book include comprehensive coverage of both the traditional and state-of-the-art numerical techniques of response analysis, such as the analysis by numerical integration of the equations of motion and analysis through frequency domain. The large number of illustrative examples and exercise problems are of great assistance in improving clarity and enhancing reader comprehension. The text aims to benefit students and engineers in the civil, mechanical, and aerospace sectors.

Very useful

This book explains theoretical portion very well but it's hard to follow some of the examples on certain topics. The notation the author uses is confusing at times,

So fast

I give 4 stars to the content of the book. This book is very good and worth buying. I reduce 1 star because I am so disappointed about the delivery service! I spent a fortune on the new book because I really love this book. I expect a book in good condition. However, several notable scraches were made and the corners of the cover were damaged during the delivery! This is not acceptable!
