An Impulse and Earthquake Energy Balance Approach in Nonlinear Structural Dynamics - Paperback

by Izuru Takewaki (Author), Kotaro Kojima (Author)

This step-by-step approach to nonlinear structural dynamics and critical excitation transforms ground motion into impulses and by takes an energy balance approach. It can be used by practitioners for building and structural design, and is based on the energy balance law, and the concepts of kinetic and strain energies.
