Course Objectives
By the end of this course, students will be able to: (1) Model single- and multi-degree-of-freedom mechanical systems. (2) Use various numerical and analytical tools to solve for the vibratory response of a system. (3) Design a system with a desired vibratory response. (4) Create a basic mathematical model for a continuous system and calculate the system’s response.
Topical Outline
Single-Degree-of-Freedom Systems • Free and forced vibration of systems with and without damping. • Machinery isolation. • Transient loading. Two-Degree-of-Freedom Systems • Free and forced vibration of systems with and without damping. • Vibration absorbers. Multi-Degree-of-Freedom Systems • Free and forced vibration of systems with and without damping. Lagrange’s Equations Continuous Systems • Free and forced vibrations of strings, beams, membranes, and plates.
