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.

The development of subroutines for ABAQUS software is one of the prominent features of this software, which allows the program to be customized for solving a specific problem. The extensive range of solutions for addressing the specific problems and challenges using subroutines, along with a simple and understandable interface, has made the ABAQUS package an extremely useful tool for complex numerical analysis since the default options available in the ABAQUS software are not capable to meet all the needs of users.

The ABAQUS package is capable to provide various customized options and tools to meet the requirements of the users with the aid of the FORTRAN programming code (which is the foundation of several numbers of computing software such as ABAQUS, ANSYS, and NASTRAN). Therefore, the FORTRAN program provided the opportunity for the users to overcome any limitations of developing and implementing numerical solutions to solve the special complex problems.

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.
