MECENG 277
Nonlinear and Random Vibrations
Oscillations in nonlinear systems having one or two degrees of freedom. Graphical, iteration, perturbation, and asymptotic methods. Self-excited oscillations and limit cycles. Random variables and random processes. Analysis of linear and nonlinear, discrete and continuous, mechanical systems under stationary and non-stationary excitations.
Topics
- To give a compact, consistent, and reasonably connected account of the theory of nonlinear vibrations and uncertainty analysis at the advanced level. A secondary purpose is to survey some topics of contemporary research.
- Acquired necessary knowledge and scientific maturity to begin research in nonlinear vibrations and uncertainty analysis.
