Dynamics of Structures

This widely respected textbook in structural dynamics and earthquake engineering presents complex concepts in an approachable, step-by-step manner, with no prerequisite knowledge assumed. The content covers vibration theory, response to harmonic and pulse excitation, earthquake response of linear and inelastic systems, multi-degree-of-freedom modeling, damping analysis, finite element introduction, and real-world applications in design and structural evaluation. The fifth edition includes updated figures, new worked examples, and revisions aligned with modern seismic engineering practices—making it ideal for both undergraduate and graduate students as well as professionals
