Moving inertial loads are applied to structures in civil engineering, robotics, and mechanical engineering. Some fundamental books exist, as well as thousands of research papers. Well known is the book by L. Fryba, Vibrations of Solids and Structures Under Moving Loads, which describes almost all problems concerning non-inertial loads.
This book presents broad description of numerical tools successfully applied to structural dynamic analysis. Physically we deal with non-conservative systems. The discrete approach formulated with the use of the classical finite element method results in...

This book presents a practical review of numerical tools applied to structural dynamic analysis of moving inertial loads. The material offered here enables readers to work with complex structures such as frames, grids, shells and three-dimensional objects.
