Book
Introduction To Structural Dynamics
This foundational textbook provides a comprehensive exploration of the principles and applications of structural dynamics, focusing on how structures respond to time-varying loads such as earthquakes, wind, and blasts. Designed for seniors and first-year graduate students in civil engineering, the text emphasizes practical analysis and the design of real-world structures over complex mathematical theory. It covers essential topics including the numerical analysis of simple systems, one-degree and multi-degree elastic systems, and the inelastic behavior of structures beyond the elastic limit. Through detailed examples and case studies, the book bridges the gap between theoretical concepts and engineering practice, making it a valuable resource for both students and practicing structural designers.
