Paperback. Zustand: Fine. Max Irvine. Includes bibliographical references and index. Structural dynamics. Constructions TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING Structural dynamics English Structural dynamics is a complex and increasingly important field of civil/structural engineering. The aim of this concise book is to demonstrate to practising engineers and advanced students that the dynamic response of structural systems can be understood without advanced techniques of analysis and impenetrable detail.
