Oscillations in Linear Systems
Response of discrete and continuous dynamical systems, damped and undamped, to harmonic and general time-dependent loading. Convolution integrals and Fourier and Laplace Transform methods. Lagrange's equations; Eigensolutions; Orthogonality; generalized coordinates; nonreciprocal and degenerate systems; Rayleigh quotient.
Topics
- To give a compact, consistent, and reasonably connected account of the theory of linear vibration at the advanced level. A secondary purpose is to survey some topics of contemporary research. Applications will be mentioned whenever feasible.
- Acquired necessary knowledge and scientific maturity to begin research in dynamics and vibration.
