Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Starting from the basic principles of analytical dynamics, this book presents the theory of vibrations in the context of structural analysis and the fundamentals of dynamic response analysis. It provides a comprehensive and unified approach to problems encountered in the field of vibration analysis and structural dynamics. Although emphasis is put on the computational methods, the mathematical and mechanical aspects underlying structural dynamic behavior are also raised. Numerous figures, flow charts and examples explain specific concepts and illustrate the theory.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction -- Analytical dynamics of discrete systems -- Undamped vibrations of n-degree-of-freedom systems -- Damped vibrations of n-degree-of-freedom systems -- Continuous systems -- Approximation of continuous systems by displacement methods -- Solution methods for the eigenvalue problem -- Direct time-integration methods.
