Abstract
Structural dynamics aims at predicting the response of structures in a given loading environment. It has enjoyed a tremendous development since the late 60’s, mainly because of the availability of high-speed computers and general purpose finite-element programs. Numerical (finite-element) and experimental modal analysis have become standard engineering tools.
