Preface "This beak hasbeen written to provide a sel-eontined text on structural dynamics for use in courses offered to seniors or frt-year graduate ftadents in evil engineering, ‘The material ix based on the authors ‘oles foreach a couse given at MIT during the past few years tit presumed that the student has completed the normal undergraduate workin applied mechanic, mathomatis, and structural engineering. "The emphasis in this txt is on the practical analysis and design of es strusturer rather than oa the mathemalal techniques of dytaie ‘nalysin ‘Throughout the book examples are give to lustre appa tion of the theory to atualstrustual problems. Much ofthe material hs boon drawn from the author's experiences a consulting engine. ‘With tis emphasis the book should be useful to practicing engineers, as voll esto studente whose abjotive isto become structure designers nthe author's opinion, structural dynamies i to often taught as 8 ‘coure in vanced tathematie for engineer, For some students this ‘spproach makes the eubject unnecssarly difcult. Other students find ‘he mathematica manipulation ao intriguing that they fl to develop the ‘hynical undertanding essential for good design. In this text the author that avoided raathenateal complestiee, whieh, although they may be ital in advanced resareh, aro Unncctsary for most design purpose. ‘Chaptees 1 snd 2, im vome respects, are n review of the dyzamice ormally taught in applied mechanics. "In addition, however, two other purposes ave served: (1) the basic theory is related to actual sructres {ind (2) numerical analysis, which i not normaly covered in applied tiechanies, i intrdveed. "The order of presentation, ir, nsmerea Aoaiynis before closed sohtion, is tomewhat unorthodox. ‘The author Teioves, a6 result of his teaching experience tht this order is prefer- ble, because numerical analysis exeeuted by hand develops a physical "ea" for dynamic behavior much more rapidly than does the solution of ferential equations ‘Chapters 3 and 4 are, perhape, the heart ofthe hook, since they conta the thoory of analysis for multdegre systems, ‘The suthor hat chowen not to Use matrix notation, which is eurrently so popular, because in his ‘opinion iti podagogieally unwise to do 20 at this introductory level or thoe tethers who prefer matrix formulation, the Appendix moy be helpful Chapter 4 contaies considerable material on beam of various ‘types, because this s believed to be particularly important to structural Chapter 6 is devoted to approximate methods of design, which are veloped on the basis of the theory presented in earlier chapter ‘Because many dynanie problems in evil enginceriag involve uncertain loading conditions, tha methods are often more appropriate thay the ‘more proce but time-consuming procedure Chapters 0,7, and 8 contain applications ofthe theory to some impor ‘tant typenaf structural problema.” These treatinente are incomplete, tt they are belived to be sufciently thorough to provide sound ited tion tthe subjects ‘The author wihes to acknowledge with gratitude the assistance of hie wife, Margaret C. Biggs, who ot only typed thé manuscript, but poe ided encouragement throughout the writing of this book. Dace ‘eltran-Muldonsdo was extromely helpful in preparing the figures nd proofreading the manasrpt. ‘The author i particularly indebted to hie teacher and caleague Prof Chaves 1H.
