Numéro d'article 10215665

For courses in Structural Dynamics. Structural dynamics and earthquake engineering for both students and professional engineers An expert on structural dynamics and earthquake engineering Anil K. Chopra fills an important niche explaining the material in a manner suitable for both students and professional engineers with his fifth edition in SI units of Dynamics of Structures Theory and Applications to Earthquake Engineering. No prior knowledge of structural dynamics is assumed and the presentation is detailed and integrated enough to make the text suitable for self-study. As a textbo.
