Synopsis

Vibration problems are quite common in many civil engineering structures. Therefore, it is becoming increasingly important for civil engineers to gain an insight into the principles involved and to know how to use modern, computer-based methods. Designed for engineering students and practising engineers alike, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory of structural dynamics. Special emphasis is placed on practical issues and applications which are illustrated by a wide range of worked examples. As an innovative feature, the book includes a large number of computer programs as ready-to-use executables on a CD-ROM, complete with detailed input/output descriptions and auxiliary software. In the spirit of "learning by doing", readers are encouraged to apply these tools immediately to their specific problems, making themselves familiar with the broad field of structural dynamic response in the process.
