Description
PEARSON INDIA Dynamics Of Structures With Matlab Applications by Ashok K Jain
"This book is designed for undergraduate and graduate students taking a first course in Dynamics of Structures, Structural Dynamics or Earthquake Engineering. It includes several topics on the theory of structural dynamics and the applications of this theory to the analysis of buildings, bridges, towers and other structures subjected to dynamic and earthquake forces. This comprehensive text demonstrates the applications of numerical solution techniques to a large variety of practical, real-world problems under dynamic loads.
