5.0 out of 5 stars Good for clear conception, March 10, 2007

This book starts with the basic and provides various examples to make the conception clear.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good content, but filled with typographical errors, October 2, 2003

By	Dave "df" (Melbourne Beach, FL USA) - See all my reviews

The scope and content of the book is very appropriate for a beginning student in structural dynamics, and the organization is very nice. I think the book strikes a good balance of coverage between civil and mechanical engineering subject matter. However, a serious flaw of the book at least in the first printing (and the only printing as far as I can tell) is the exceptional number of typographical errors it contains. I would give more stars if an edition with the typos fixed were to appear.

4.0 out of 5 stars Structural dynamics, January 16, 2002

By A Customer

For me, this is a good book for students who want to get master degree in Civil Engineering, Building Engineering and Aerospace Engineering. Students can understand of the dynamic response of structures and the analytical tools to determine such responses. Furthermore, it demonstrates modern theories, solution techniques and real-world problems.
