Vector Analysis and Cartesian Tensors, Third edition [Paperback]

This is a comprehensive and self-contained text suitable for use by undergraduate mathematics, science and engineering students. Vectors are introduced in terms of cartesian components, making the concepts of gradient, divergent and curl particularly simple. The text is supported by copious examples and progress can be checked by completing the many problems at the end of each section. Answers are provided at the back of the book.This is a comprehensive and self-contained text suitable for use by undergraduate mathematics, science and engineering studentsChapter 1/Structural dynamics and response spectrum; Chapter 2/Design spectrum; Chapter 3/Combination of modal responses; Chapter 4/Response to multicomponents of earthquake; Chapter 5/Nonclassically clamped systems; Chapter 6/Response of secondary systems; Chapter 7/Decoupled primary system analysis; Chapter 8/Seismic response of buildingsUS?
