Structural Dynamics: Theory and Computation by Mario Paz and William Leigh (1987)

It provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory used to analyze the dynamic behavior of structures.

It covers topics such as linearization, matrix formulation, dynamic response, and computational methods.

The book is divided into two main sections, the first devoted to the fundamentals of structural dynamics, and the second to computational methods.

The book begins with a review of the basic concepts of structural dynamics, including kinematics, the energy method, and linearization.

It then covers topics such as the matrix formulation of structural dynamics, dynamic response, and computational methods.

It also includes a discussion of the numerical integration of dynamic equations and a wide range of numerical techniques.

The book concludes with an overview of the applications of structural dynamics, such as earthquake engineering, vibration control, and noise control.
