This 2006 textbook fits a one-semester aerospace, civil, and mechanical engineering course on linear structural dynamics analysis for advanced undergraduates and graduate students. Topics beyond the normal scope are designated by an asterisk. The final chapters can be deferred for later studies. The text contains numerous examples and end-of-chapter exercises.

This text provides clear instruction in the fundamental concepts of structural analysis applied to vehicular structures such as aircraft, automobiles, ships and spacecraft. It employs three strategies to achieve clarity of presentation: essential introductory topics are covered, all approximations are fully explained and many important concepts are repeated.
