Matlab programs. Appendix B is a new addition and includes eleven Matlab programs that solve examples from each chapter. In Appendix C model data are given. Several books on structural dynamics and control have been published. Meirovitch¿s textbook [108] covers methods of structural dynamics (virtual work, d¿Alambert¿s principle, Hamilton¿s principle, Lagrange¿s and Hamilton¿s equations, and modal analysis of structures) and control (pole placement methods, LQG design, and modal control). Ewins¿s book [33] presents methods of modal testing of structures. Natke¿s book [111] on structural identification also contains excellent material on structural dynamics. Fuller, Elliot, and Nelson [40] cover problems of structural active control and structural acoustic control.
