Some quote from preface:
This book stems from the course of Structural Dynamics taught to first -year graduate students in the Division of Structural Engineering & Construction (SEC) at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) during my secondment (1990-1992). While there are several good books on the dynamics of structures, it was understood that there should be some specially arranged text book for the education of AIT students who may have very different back grounds in their academic and working careers. In this textbook the level of mathematics is kept as elementary as the subject matter will reasonably allow. Emphases throughout are not only on basic concepts (or basic principles) and practical procedures but also on physical or engineering interpretations of structural vibrations.

The contents of this book are divided into two parts. The fundamentals of structural dynamics are given in the first four chapters and followed by rather special topics or applications in the rest. That is the theories of random vibrations and nonlinear vibrations are dealt with in Chapters V and VI for showing how to solve the vibration problems induced by earthquake and wind which are the two most common dynamic loads on civil-engineering structures. Chapter VII introduces rather new concept in the structural design, vibration control, and the passive damping control is mainly explained. Some engineering problems are also given in main chapters, which might help the students for their understanding. Solutions and discussions to the problems are presented in Appendix A.
