MC486 VIBRATION ENGINEERING

  • 3.0 credit hours
  • (BS=0.0, ET=3.0, MA=0.0)
  • Version 2024-1
  • Archived
Scope
In this course students develop a foundation in the analysis and design of free and forced single and multi-degree of freedom systems. Applications include modeling, damping, resonance, force transmissibility, vibration absorbers, matrix formulation and modal analysis. Emphasis is placed on vibrations examples from several engineering fields. Laboratory experiences provide students with the opportunity to apply principles taught in the classroom to physical systems, allowing the comparison of theoretical and actual vibrating systems. In-class demonstrations supplement the theory development.

In this course students develop a foundation in the analysis and design of free and forced single and multi-degree of freedom systems. Applications include modeling, damping, resonance, force transmissibility, vibration absorbers, matrix formulation and modal analysis. Emphasis is placed on vibrations examples from several engineering fields. Out-of-class design problems provide students with the opportunity to apply principles taught in the classroom to realistic problems encountered by practicing engineers. In-class demonstrations supplement the theory development.
