Vibration of Complex Mechanical Systems

Enrollment Requirements: Undergraduate Prerequisite: (CASMA 226 or CASMA 231) and ENGME 302; Graduate Prerequisite: Graduate Standing Analysis of free and forced vibration of multidegree-of-freedom systems. Analysis of free and forced vibration of continuous systems such as strings, bars, beams, and membranes. Introduction to vibration control, vibration isolation, and vibration absorbers. Introduction to vibration sensors. Analysis of free and forced vibration of systems and structures modeled with the finite element method. Students learn computational implementation of all analyses.
