5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference Text On Single Degree Of Freedom Systems, June 15, 2000

N J COWLAN (England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Introduction to Structural Dynamics (Hardcover)

This book presents the practicing Engineer with a method to analyse a beam subjected to various point and uniformly distributed dynamic loads, by making an analogy to a spring mass system. Various applied load time histories and the structural response are explored for applications such as blast and earthquake loadings. This is a must for Structural Engineers who require to perform both hand and simple computational structural analysis. Elastic and Elasto plastic analysis is considered for simple beam elements as well as two dimensional frameworks.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic text, November 1, 2001

M. J. Moorcroft "mjm" (warrington UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Introduction to Structural Dynamics (Hardcover)

Excellent book written before the days of computing power and all the better for it. It concentrates on fundamentals. The charts on dynamic load factors are unequalled and have helped me save time and money.
