The ABAQUS is a general-purpose finite element simulation package used for mainly numerically solving a wide variety of design engineering problems, however, its application to simulate the dynamic structures within the civil engineering domain is highly complicated. Therefore, this book aims to present specific complicated and puzzling challenges encountered for application of the Finite Element Method (FEM) in solving the problems regarding Structural Dynamics by using ABAQUS software, which can fully utilize this method in complex simulation and analysis. Various chapters of this book are demonstrating the process for modeling and analysis of impenetrable problems through simplified step by step illustration with presenting screenshots from software in each part/step and showing graphs. Here are some highlights about this book: Focusses on solving problems in the Structural Dynamics using ABAQUS Software Helps to model and analysis different types of structures with various dynamic and cyclic loads Discusses simulation of irregular-shaped objects composed of several different materials with multipart boundary conditions Includes application of various load effects to the developed structural models in ABAQUS Software Covers a broad array of applications such as bridges, offshores, dam, seismic resistant systems, and so forth. In overall, this book is aimed at graduate students, researchers, professionals in structural engineering, solid mechanics, and civil engineering.
