✦ Synopsis

Elements of Structural Dynamics: A New Perspective takes a novel ‘top-down’ approach to the subject of structural dynamics. It starts with the basic principles of linear momentum balance of isotropic and linearly elastic systems, which in turn yield the governing equations of motion in structural dynamics. It attempts to mathematically model the ‘real-life’ structural systems, whilst not sacrificing the important feature of a suitably graded exposition with gradually increasing complexity.

Elements of Structural Dynamics: A New Perspective is devoted to covering dynamics of linear structural systems and covers the computational aspects that enable the adapting of the basic theory into computer programs. This book also provides some information on the important mathematical concepts to allow a more insightful understanding of the subject.
