This book introduces an analytical method, the U-transformation method, for the exact analysis of structures with the periodic property. The physical meaning of

By using the U-transformation method, it is possible to uncouple linear simultaneous equations, either algebraic or differential, with cyclic periodicity. This

This book proposes and validates a number of methods and shortcuts for frugal engineers, which will allow them to significantly reduce the computational costs f

This book contains the papers presented at two conferences organized by the Wessex Institute of Technology. The first conference is the Seventh International Co
