Book, Dynamic Analysis of Structures, written by John Katsikadelis (Author with over 37 years of research, teaching and writing experience). This book introduces complex concepts of structural dynamics in an easy-to-use way.
In this book the author includes carefully worked examples that are solved using more recent numerical methods. These examples pave the way to more accurately simulate the behavior of various types of structures. The essential topics covered include principles of structural dynamics applied to particles, rigid and deformable bodies, thus allowing the formulation of equations for the motion of any structure.CONTENT:
