Fundamentals of Structural Dynamics: Theory and Computation

Description

This text closes the gap between traditional textbooks on structural dynamics and how structural dynamics is practiced in a world driven by commercial software, where performance-based design is increasingly important. The book emphasizes numerical methods, nonlinear response of structures, and the analysis of continuous systems (e.g., wave propagation). Fundamentals of Structural Dynamics: Theory and Computation builds the theory of structural dynamics from simple single-degree-of-freedom systems through complex nonlinear beams and frames in a consistent theoretical context supported by an extensive set of MATLAB codes that not only illustrate and support the principles, but provide powerful tools for exploration. The book is designed for students learning structural dynamics for the first time but also serves as a reference for professionals throughout their careers.    Preface Contents 1 Foundations of Dynamics 1.1 Kinematics of Particles 1.2 Kinetics of Particles 1.3 Power, Work, and Energy 1.4 Conservation of Energy 1.5 Dynamics of Rigid Bodies 1.6 Example 1.7 The Euler–Lagrange Equations 1.8 Summary 2 Numerical Solution of Ordinary Differential Equations 2.1 Why Numerical Methods?
