Dynamics in the Practice of Structural Design

Each chapter in this book deals with an independent subject in structural dynamics and can function as a stand-alone section. Readers may go directly to their area of interest. The intended audience is engineers who are interested in design situations involving dynamic loads using appropriate computer software for the daily practice of design. The contents are as follows: (1) Structural design in dynamic situations; (2) General overview; (3) Dynamic events and effects; (4) Dynamic loads on structures; (5) Vibrations; (6) The rate of strain; (7) Fatigue; (8) Damping; (9) Mathematics; (10) Single degree of freedom system; (11) Multidegree of freedom: lumped mass system; (12) Distributed mass system; (13) Earthquakes; and (14) Wind loads.
