<p>Intended primarily for teaching dynamics of structures to advanced undergraduates and graduate students in civil engineering departments, this text may also be an effective reference for researchers and practicing engineers. It aims to present state-of-the-art methods for assessing the seismic performance of structure/foundation systems and includes information on earthquake engineering, taken from case examples. The second edition provides treatment of frequency domain analysis for both SDOF and MDOF systems and expanded treatment of damping. There is also expanded treatment of step-by-step methods for solving linear and non-linear equations of motion and methods for solving directly-coupled equations of motion with complex frequency domain analysis.</p>

<p>Now in its 2nd Edition (revised), this definitive textbook has been updated by the original authors to reflect advances in the field of structural dynamics for civil engineers. For more than 50 years, Clough and Penzien dedicated their academic careers to improving the understanding of how structures behave when subjected to the forces of nature. At 700-pages, their book represents the culmination of their work and covers a wide range of topics suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students as well as practicing engineers. This essential earthquake engineering textbook covers both deterministic and stochastic (random) aspects of structural dynamics. It belongs on the bookshelf of every engineer and continues to be an extraordinary tool for those teaching structural dynamics as well as a timely reference for those in professional practice.</p>
