This tutorial manual provides practical, step-by-step instruction for using the PAM-CRASH software, focusing specifically on both implicit and explicit Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis techniques. It is designed to guide engineers and students through the creation, setup, and execution of complex structural dynamics problems, particularly those involving non-linear transient phenomena such …
This book, "Vibration Analysis," by Robert K. Vierck, serves as a classic textbook providing a thorough and accessible introduction to the theory and application of mechanical vibrations. It covers the fundamentals of single-degree-of-freedom systems, two-degree-of-freedom systems, and continuous systems. Key topics include free and forced vibration, damping, and the use of various mathematical…
Presents a unified treatment of Structural Dynamics using the Finite Element Method (FEM). Intended as a foundational text in civil and engineering fields, it introduces the basic theory of structural dynamics and combines it with the principles of FEM for the analysis of complex structures. The content covers the formulation of mass and stiffness matrices for various structural elements, dynam…
