The purpose of this book is to show how basic structural theory and design methods in everyday use for static design can also be applied to dynamic load cases w

This book is a practitioner-friendly approach to dynamics on structural design, oriented to facilitate understanding of complicated issues without their elabora

Structural dynamics is a subset of structural analysis which covers the behavior of structures subjected to dynamic loading. The subject has seen rapid growth a

The use of COSMOS for the analysis and solution of structural dynamics problems is introduced in this new edition. The COSMOS program was selected from among th

Based on the author's lectures at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, this concise textbook presents an exhaustive treatment of structural dynamics and m
