Structural Dynamics: Theory and Computation (6th Edition) – eBook PDF
The ebook Structural Dynamics: Theory and Computation 6th edition (PDF) is a complete and comprehensive textbook in the field. It presents modern methods of techniques and analysis adaptable to computer programming clearly and easily. The ebook is ideal as a textbook for graduate or advanced undergraduate students taking a first course in structural dynamics. It is arranged in such a way that it can be used for a two- or one-semester course, or span the undergraduate and graduate levels. In addition, this textbook will serve the practicing engineer as a primary reference.
The textbook differs from the standard approach of other presentations in which topics are ordered by their mathematical complexity. This textbook is organized by the type of structural modeling. The expert author simplifies the subject by presenting a single-degree-of-freedom system in the 1st chapters, then moves to systems with many degrees-of-freedom in the following chapters. Finally, the textbook moves to applications of the first chapters and special topics in structural dynamics.
This revised and updated 6th edition textbook intends to provide enhanced learning materials for students to learn structural dynamics, ranging from basics to advanced topics, including their application. When a line-by-line programming language is included with solved problems, college students can learn course materials easily and visualize the solved problems using a program. Among several programming languages, MATLAB® has been adopted by a lot of academic institutions across several disciplines. Many students and educators in the U.S. and many international institutions can readily access MATLAB, which has an appropriate programming language to solve and simulate problems in the textbook. It effectively allows matrix manipulations and plotting of data. Therefore, multi-degree-of-freedom problems can be solved in conjunction with the finite element method using MATLAB. The revised latest version will include:
· solved 34 examples in Chapters 1 through 22 along with MATLAB codes.
· basics of earthquake design with current design codes (ASCE 7-16 and IBC 2018).
· additional figures obtained from MATLAB codes to illustrate time-variant structural behavior and dynamic characteristics (e.g., time versus displacement and spectral chart).This text is essential for civil engineering students. Professional civil engineers will find it an ideal reference.
NOTE: This only includes the ebook Structural Dynamics: Theory and Computation, 6th edition, in PDF. No access codes included.
