Description
Structural Dynamics for Engineers, Second edition is an essential introduction to the dynamics of civil engineering structures. This book provides a clear understanding of the theories underlying widely-used computer analysis systems and shows how to carry out simple hand calculations in structural dynamics.
The methods presented enable readers to check the validity of their results and eliminate errors in their calculations. Worked examples in every chapter demonstrate the use of the theories presented, while additional purpose-written problems allow you to practice your skills.
Key topics covered include the implementation of damping in design and analysis, the use of dampers to reduce vibration in dynamically sensitive structures, and the use of power spectra to predict responses to wind and earthquakes. This book is ideal for student and graduate engineers looking to understand and implement modern design codes.
