Spectral Element Method in Structural Dynamics is a concise and timely introduction to the spectral element method (SEM) as a means of solving problems in structural dynamics. Lee divides the book into three key sections. In the first part, background knowledge is set up for the readers by reviewing previous work in the area and by providing the fundamentals for the spectral analysis ofsignals. In the second part, the theory of spectral element method is provided, focusing on how to formulate spectral element models and how to conduct spectral element analysis to obtain the eigensolutions and dynamic responses in both frequency- and time-domains. In the last part, the applications of SEM to various structural dynamics problems are introduced, including pipelines, axially moving structures, rotating systems, blood flow, structural boundaries andjoints, structural damage identification, as well as multi-layered, adaptive,composite, and periodic lattice structures.
