Product Description


 

Designed for senior-level and graduate courses in Dynamics of Structures and Earthquake Engineering. The text includes many topics encompassing the theory of structural dynamics and the application of this theory regarding earthquake analysis, response, and design of structures. No prior knowledge of structural dynamics is assumed and the manner of presentation is sufficiently detailed and integrated, to make the book suitable for self-study by students and professional engineers.

Product Review Summary: A reference book, but not a textbook

This book should not be used as a textbook. Some of the notations are not clear, and this makes it very confusing if you are studying the subject for the first time. However, if you know the subject, then you can figure out what the author is trying to say. More important of all, a good textbook should use either Newton's second law or the conventional Lagrangian to derive the equations-of-motion (that is systematically straight forward and the students can easily see the best choice of generalized degrees of freedom). In short, I am very disappointed that UC-Berkeley has replaced the classical textbook of Raymond Clough (Dynamics of Structures) by this book of Anil Chopra.
