Overview
This book is one of the first to apply the concept of inverse problems in vibration to the structural design of buildings. It will enable designers to find desirable solutions more directly than through conventional procedures, which include trial and error processes, and to take account of dynamic soil-structure interaction in their planning.Contents: Introduction; Fully Inverse Problems; Hydrid inverse Problems; Incremental Inverse Problems; Dynamic Structural Design for Fixed-Base Models; DynamicStructural Design including Soil-Structure Interaction; Multi-Objective Structural Design; Dynamic Structural Design using Passive Structural Control; Future Directions.

Takewaki (architecture, Kyoto University) introduces a new dynamic structural design approach that uses inverse problem formulations to overcome several problems in the rationalization and systematization of structural design processes, and proposes a new direction for seismic-resistant design founded on the concept of performance based design. The inverse problem formulations allow designers to reach optimal solutions more quickly and directly than through conventional trial-and-error procedures, while taking dynamic soil-structure interaction into account in their planning. Each chapter contains simple models to illustrate the concepts and formulations. Distributed in North America by Computational Mechanics. Annotation c.
