Abstract: Part I: structures modelled as a single degree-of-freedom system undamped single degree-of-freedom system damped single degree-of-freedom system response of one-degree-of-freedom system to haarmonic loading response to general dynamic loading Fourier analysis and response in the frequency domain generalized co-ordinates and Rayleigh's method nonlinear structural response response spectra. Part II: structures modelled as shear buildings the multistory shear building free vibration of a shear building forced motion of shear buildings damped motion of shear buildings reduction of dynamic matrices. Part III: framed structures modeled as discrete multidegree-of-freedom systems dynamic analysis of beams dynamic analysis of plane frames dynamic anaylsis of grids three-dimensional frames dynamic analysis of trusses time history response of multidegree-of-freedom systems. Part IV: structures modelled with distributed properties dynamic analysis of systems with distributed properties discretization of continuous systems. Part V: introduction to finite element method dynamic analysis of plates dynamic analysis of shells dynamic analysis of three-dimensional solid structures. Part VI: random vibration. Part VII: earthquake engineering equivolent staic lateral force method - uniform Building Code 1994 dynamic method - uniform Building Code - 1994.
