Probabilistic Structural Dynamics

Download or read book Probabilistic Structural Dynamics written by Y. K. Lin and published by McGraw-Hill. This book was released on 2004-04 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, engineers look to established safety factors to build sound structures, but the process is inefficient and often yields less than the desired results. This reference presents a different approach, allowing structural engineers to overcome the unpredictability of traditional modeling systems by developing sophisticated equation sets to solve specific structural problems.
