Structural Dynamics: An Introduction to Computer Methods

By Roy R. Craig

Book Overview

Provides the basic material needed to use structural dynamics computer programs and to do structural dynamics testing. Introduces the numerical techniques underlying finite element computer codes through use of ''hand'' solutions and the coding of several subroutines in FORTRAN and BASIC. Emphasizes the mathematical modelling of structures and the methods for solving structural dynamics problems with a digital computer. Presents solution techniques applicable to various engineering disciplines.

excellent book

This is very nice book to learn structural dynamics from. Theory is presented in a very logical manner and the end of chapter excercises are very helpful. I would rate this book as number 2 in the vibrations literature. Number 1 is "Mechanical vibrations" by J.P.Den hartog.
