This book provides engineering students with an understanding of the dynamic response of structures and the analytical tools to determine such responses. This comprehensive text demonstrates how modern theories and solution techniques can be applied to a large variety of practical, real-world problems. As computers play a more significant role in this field, the authors emphasize discrete methods of analysis and numerical solution techniques throughout the text. Features Covers a wide range of topics with practical applications Provides comprehensive treatment of discrete methods of analysis Emphasizes the mathematical modeling of structures Includes principles and solution techniques of relevance to engineering mechanics, civil, mechanical, and aerospace engineering
Abstract: "This proceedings is the record of a workshop hosted by the Coastal Engineering Research Center. The objective of the workshop was to review the current state of knowledge of the structural strength of breakwater concrete armor units and to discuss past and proposed measurements of the structural forcing and response. The invited participants represented a purposeful mix of coastal engineers, structural engineers, concrete specialists, and laboratory and field experimenters. Both researchers and engineers involved in the design and construction of rubble-mound breakwaters participated."
