Dynamic Analysis of Structures
Description
Key Features
- Covers the tools and techniques needed to build realistic modeling of actual structures under dynamic loads
- Provides the methods to formulate the equations of motion of any structure, no matter how complex it is, once the dynamic model has been adopted
- Provides carefully worked-out examples that are solved using recent numerical methods
- Includes simple computer algorithms for the numerical solution of the equations of motion and respective code in FORTRAN and MATLAB
Readership
