VIBRATIONS

Catalog description

(Slashed with ENGR 75401 ) This course delves into the theoretical and practical aspects of mechanical vibrations with applications to various engineering systems. Students explore the modeling, analysis and design of single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) and multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems, as well as continuous systems and nonlinear vibrations. Topics include free and forced vibrations, damping, resonance, modal analysis, vibration control strategies and analysis of vibration signals. This course requires prior knowledge of calculus, linear algebra, differential equations and dynamics and an ability to program in Python or MATLAB.
