9781118339626 English 1118339622 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., Structural dynamics is a subset of structural analysis which covers the behavior of structures subjected to dynamic loading. The subject has seen rapid growth and also change in how the basic concepts can be interpreted. For instance, the classical notions of discretizing the operator of a dynamic structural model have given way to a set-theoretic, function-space based framework, which is more conducive to implementation with a computer. This modern perspective, as adopted in this book, is also helpful in putting together the various tools and ideas in a more integrated style. Elements of Structural Dynamics: A New Perspective is devoted to covering the basic concepts in linear structural dynamics, whilst emphasizing their mathematical moorings and the associated computational aspects that make their implementation in software possible. Key features: Employs a novel ?top down? approach to structural dynamics. Contains an insightful treatment of the computational aspects, including the finite element method, that translate into numerical solutions of the dynamic equations of motion. Consistently touches upon the modern mathematical basis for the theories and approximations involved. Elements of Structural Dynamics: A New Perspective is a holistic treatise on structural dynamics and is an ideal textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students in Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil engineering departments. This book also forms a useful reference for researchers and engineers in industry., This comprehensive guide takes a novel "top-down" approach to the subject of structural dynamics. Starting 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 covers the dynamics of linear structural systems as well as the computational aspects that enable the adapting of the basic theory into computer programs. It attempts to mathematically model "real-life" structural systems, whilst not sacrificing the important feature of a suitably graded exposition with gradually increasing complexity.
