Abstract
As linearity has been taken for granted, a formal finite element approach to the problem of structural dynamics will comply with the computational methods usually applied elsewhere in theory of elasticity. However, in dynamics it is necessary to add the effects of mass in motion as well as internal damping, which, for a line like system, will affect the shape of motion into a combination of harmonic and hyperbolic functions, see Chapter 3, and thus also the overall physical properties of the system.
