Structural Dynamics Design

The all-in-one reference on the methods and techniques for solving shock and vibration issues in portable electronic systems
This comprehensive exploration of structural dynamics offers versatile methodologies for predicting shocks and vibrations in micro- and opto-electronic systems.

This text addresses the modeling of vibrating systems with the perspective of finding the model of minimum complexity which accounts for the physics of the phenomena at play. The first half of the book (Ch.1-6) deals with the dynamics of discrete and continuous mechanical systems; the classical approach emphasizes the use of Lagrange's equations.

This book includes a collection of chapters that were presented at the International Conference on Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics (ICESD), held in Reykjavik, Iceland between 12-14 June 2017. The contributions address a wide spectrum of subjects related to wind engineering, earthquake engineering, and structural dynamics.
