“This book provides an excellent introduction to system dynamics and understanding the dynamic response of structures. … For those working on the dynamics of ocean structures or planning to work in this area this would be an excellent text to begin.” (James K. Thompson, Noise Control Engineering Journal, Vol. 63 (3), May-June, 2015)
Essentials of Applied Dynamic Analysis
von Junbo JiaThis book presents up-to-date knowledge of dynamic analysis in engineering world. To facilitate the understanding of the topics by readers with various backgrounds, general principles are linked to their applications from different angles. Special interesting topics such as statistics of motions and loading, damping modeling and measurement, nonlinear dynamics, fatigue assessment, vibration and buckling under axial loading, structural health monitoring, human body vibrations, and vehicle-structure interactions etc., are also presented. The target readers include industry professionals in civil, marine and mechanical engineering, as well as researchers and students in this area.
