Dynamics: An Introduction for Civil and Structural Engineers
1999,
80 pages, soft cover
$66.80
Dynamics is of increasing interest to civil and structural engineers as structures become lighter and members more slender, and steel and composite materials are increasingly used for cladding in placeof brick and masonry. These changes increase the amplitudes of vibration and move the frequencies of structures into bands which are both more awkward to deal with and more easily perceived by structures' users. This guide provides civil and structural engineers with introductory information on all the main principles and important elements of the subject. It explains the basic theories underlying dynamics. It considers acceptance criteria for design where dynamic loading is significant and examines a broad range of dynamic loading sources that may be significant in many design situations. It concludes with illustrative examples, refrences including selected codes and standards, and a classification of vibration standards. It answers the key questions: What is dynamics? Why do engineers need to know about it? How are dynamic forces accomodated in the engineering design and checking processes?
