Dynamics of Structures (prentice-hall International Series in Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics)

Outlines the principles of the response of structures to movement, and the analytical tools for predicting that response. For civil, mechanical, and aerospace engineers. Deals mostly with discrete mathematical models, though one section analyzes continuous models. Topics include the formulations of equations of motion, methods of analytical mechanics, and the solution of equations of motion for systems with both single and multiple degrees of freedom.
