Structural Dynamics in Industry

Structural dynamics has become increasingly important in different fields such as automotive, aeronautics or space, where the need for performance is ever increasing. This expansion was encouraged by the capability of computers to simulate phenomena through increasingly large models. However, to control these phenomena, we must first understand them.

This book sets out to explain basic notions with a methodic approach to help improve this comprehension and to deal with industrial structures without becoming too specific. The developments are outlined with minimum mathematics and are often illustrated by simple examples before moving on to cases taken from industrial reality.

This book is addressed to the student or the researcher wanting to organize and clarify their knowledge in this field, as well as to the engineer concerned with bringing a practical response to problems they have to solve.
