Mechanical Vibration

[0.50] credits · Undergraduate

This course will provide students with an introduction to the fundamental concepts of vibration engineering using both single and multiple degrees of freedom concepts. The free and forced response of these systems will be covered. Emphasis will be placed on the design of vibration suppression and isolation of mechanical systems. Concepts of natural frequencies and mode shapes and their significance in the solution of multiple degrees of freedom problems will be covered. Vibration of rotating machinery, balancing, condition monitoring, and predictive vs. preventative maintenance philosophies will be introduced.
