From the Back Cover
This book introduces the theory of structural dynamics, with focus on civil engineering structures. It presents modern methods of analysis and techniques adaptable to computer programming clearly and easily. The book is ideal as a text for advanced undergraduates or graduate students taking a first course in structural dynamics. It is arranged in such a way that it can be used for a one- or two-semester course, or span the undergraduate and graduate levels. In addition, this book serves the practicing engineer as a primary reference. This book is organized by the type of structural modeling. The author simplifies the subject by presenting a single degree-of-freedom system in the first chapters and then moves to systems with many degrees-of-freedom in the following chapters. Many worked examples/problems are presented to explain the text, and a few computer programs are presented to help better understand the concepts. The book is useful to the research scholars and professional engineers, besides senior undergraduate and postgraduate students.

Professor Madhujit Mukhopadhyay is Ex-Dean (Faculty and Planning) and Professor Emeritus of Structural Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. He obtained the B.E. degree from the University of Calcutta and Ph.D. and the D.Sc. degrees from IIT, Kharagpur. His field of research interest lies in the application of various numerical methods for the analysis of plates and shells, bare of stiffened, isotropic or orthotropic. He has received several awards for his research. A widely traveled person, Professor Madhujit Mukhopadhyay published a large number of papers in international journals in aerospace, civil, mechanical and ocean engineering and is the author of four textbooks.
