to develop a solution to the dynamics of simultaneous horizontal and rocking

This book presents the required theoretical background needed to develop
mathematicalmodelsandtheirsolutionsfortheabovetopics.Furthermore,itoffers
the engineering information and quantitative data needed for design analysis and
applications of the presented analytical procedures for different disciplines such
as: mechanical, civil, and bioengineering. The book in its entirety constitutes as
an extensive guidance for its reader. It also providesa systematic solution for the
