The problem of earthquake induced torsion in buildings is quite old and although it has
received a lot of attention in the past several decades, it is still open. This is evident not only …

The concepts in this book will provide a comprehensive overview of the current state for a
broad range of nitride semiconductor devices, as well as a detailed introduction to selected …

A new response spectrum method is developed for seismic analysis of linear multi‐degree‐
of‐freedom, multiply supported structures subjected to spatially varying ground motions …

It is well‐known that the application of the Square‐Root‐of‐Sum‐of‐Squares (SRSS)
method in seismic analysis for combining modal maxima can cause significant errors …

A response spectrum method for stationary random vibration analysis of linear, multi‐degree‐
of‐freedom systems is developed. The method is based on the assumption that the input …

Almost every step in the seismic design process is beset by uncertainty. This chapter deals
with one key step in this process: prediction of the re sponse of structures with known …

A response spectrum method for dynamic analysis of linear structures subjected to
multicomponent seismic input is developed. The method is based on elementary concepts of …

If earthquakes are modelled by a stochastic process, it is possible to interpret the associated
response spectrum in terms of the statistics of extreme values of oscillator response to the …

A simple method which can be applied in seismic codes to determine the critical angle of
seismic incidence and the corresponding peak response of structures subjected to two …

This book covers structural dynamics from a theoretical and algorithmic approach. It covers
systems with both single and multiple degrees-of-freedom. Numerous case studies are …
