Formulas for Structural Dynamics: Tables, Graphs and Solutions

A reference devoted to determination of frequencies and forms of free vibrations for beams, arches, and frames, for specialists in the field of dynamics of deformable systems, and for students in various branches of engineering. Covers some 500 problems most commonly encountered in practical engineering, with chapters on transverse vibration equations, equations of classical beam theory, Bernoulli-Euler beams, prismatic beams, non-uniform one-span beams, optimal designed beams, and nonlinear transverse vibrations. Karnovsky is affiliated with Tel-Hai Rodman Regional College, Israel. Lebed is affiliated with British Columbia Institute of Technology. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
