Features: This book is written as a textbook for graduate students in civil engineering programs in ordinary universities (covering "general civil engineering" including housing construction, road and bridge engineering, and water conservancy, etc.). It is also a reference book for those who have taken the Structural Mechanics course to further deepen and broaden their knowledge in structural dynamics. The content of this book is connected with the chapter on structural dynamic calculations in the Structural Mechanics course, but it presents the basic theories, calculation methods, practical solutions, and some engineering application problems of structural dynamic analysis in a broader, deeper, and more systematic manner. The book consists of 6 chapters, including: an overview of structural dynamics, vibration of single-degree-of-freedom systems, vibration of multi-degree-of-freedom systems, vibration of infinite-degree-of-freedom (distributed parameter) systems, practical solutions for structural dynamic analysis, and engineering application problems in structural dynamic analysis. The first 5 chapters are followed by review questions and exercises, and the answers to the exercises are provided at the end of the book. This book can be used as a textbook for graduate students in civil engineering programs, including "general civil engineering" in housing construction, road and bridge engineering, water conservancy, and other structural-related fields. It can also serve as a reference book for senior students and relevant engineering and technical personnel.
