Dynamics of Structures

Preference :
Structural dynamics is a subject that traditionally figures in the curriculum of engineering schools. An introductory course in structural dynamics is often available as an elective in engineering programs, followed by a more advanced course during graduate work at the master’s or doctoral level. The new standards and building codes promote the use of dynamic computation to determine the distribution of seismic forces when designing large or irregularly shaped buildings or, in some cases, as the method of choice for determining the effects of seismic forces. As a result, the importance of an introductory course in structural dynamics should be obvious. This book is intended for engineering students and practising engineers dealing with problems related to structural vibration and seismic design.
