• Introduction.- Analytical solutions.- Semi-analytical methods.- Review of numerical methods of solution.- Classical numerical methods of time integration.- Space–time finite element method.- Space–time finite elements and a moving load.- The Newmark method and a moving inertial load.- Meshfree methods in moving load problems.- Examples of applications.

From the reviews:“The authors deal with many numerical methods to solve problems concerning vibrations of structures under moving inertial loads; semi-analytical methods are presented to better understand the differential equations that govern the mechanical problems. … An appendix contains computer programs for some structures, and a rich bibliography (154 titles) follows. … The book can be useful for many engineers, researchers and students, and represents a valuable contribution to the field.” (Petre P. Teodorescu, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1254, 2013)
