This book addresses the topic of structural dynamics, which is a branch of structural analysis devoted to the behavior of structures subjected to dynamic loads, from a theoretical and algorithmic approach. Dynamic loads can originate from many sources, including for example loading caused by geophysical phenomena such as wind, waves or earthquakes, or manmade sources such as traffic, explosive blasts, or other impacts.

The book covers systems with both single and multiple degrees-of-freedom, and numerous case studies are provided to give the reader a deeper insight into the real world practicalities and constraints of the field. Solutions to these case studies are given in terms of real-time and frequency in both geometric and modal spaces.

Finally, emphasis is given to the subject of seismic loading, which makes the book especially important and relevant to mechanical, structural and civil engineers working with these loads in mind.

The book draws heavily on the best elements of teaching of structural dynamics at numerous institutions and will therefore be an accessible and practical aid to all students of the subject, as well as an invaluable reference for practicing professionals and researchers.

Industry Reviews

"This book covers structural dynamics from a theoretical and algorithmic approach. It covers systems with both single and multiple degrees-of-freedom. Numerous case studies are given to provide the reader with a deeper insight into the practicalities of the area, and the solutions to these case studies are given in terms of real-time and frequency in both geometric and modal spaces. Emphasis is also given to the subject of seismic loading. This publication also examines the effects of loads, impacts, and seismic forces on the materials used in the construction of buildings, bridges, tunnels, and more."
