Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Provides practising engineers with an introduction to the dynamics of civil engineering while offering an understanding of the dynamic theories that form the basis of computer packages, such as: ANSYS (US) - general purpose finite element program; and LUSAS (UK) - civil engineering and design program.
Includes bibliographical references.
