Summary

This book is intended as a basic introduction to the topic of structural dynamics for undergraduate civil and structural engineering students. Covering single and multiple degree of freedom systems while providing an introduction to earthquake engineering, the book hopes to keep the coverage succinct and on topic at a level appropriate for non-specialist undergraduate and graduate students. Through dozens of worked examples based on actual structures, the book will also introduce the student to NONLIN, a matrix analysis software package.

Author Biography

James C. Anderson is Professor of Civil Engineering at USC and is the author of, and contributor to, numerous book and journal articles. FARZAD NAEIM is Vice President and General Counsel at John A. Martin Associates, Inc., a consulting structural engineering firm headquartered in Los Angeles, California. He has received numerous awards for his contributions to earthquake engineering, including the 2007 Fazlur R. Khan Lifetime Achievement Medal by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat.
