Dynamics of Structures: Second EditionAuthor(s): J. Humar\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: A A Balkema Publishers, Netherlands\nImprint: A A Balkema Publishers\nISBN-13: 9789058092465, 978-9058092465\nSynopsis\nThis major textbook provides comprehensive coverage of the analytical tools required to determine the dynamic response of structures. The topics covered include: formulation of the equations of motion for single- as well as multi-degree-of-freedom discrete systems using the principles of both vector mechanics and analytical mechanics; free vibration response; determination of frequencies and mode shapes; forced vibration response to harmonic and general forcing functions; dynamic analysis of continuous systems;and wave propagation analysis.\n\nThe key assets of the book include comprehensive coverage of both the traditional and state-of-the-art numerical techniques of response analysis, such as the analysis by numerical integration of the equations of motion and analysis through.
