Working from a descriptive rather than prescriptive approach, this book classifies a number of methods used in structural dynamics. It provides an introduction to a relatively new area of research and serves as an objective source of analysis. Following a general overview and historical perspective, it offers a thorough grounding in the theory of structural dynamics and then goes on to explore exact modal methods, modal sensitivity analysis, exact methods for response prediction and methods for response sensitivities. Concludes with a synoptic review, references, appendices and an index.
