Mechanical Vibrations

1.5 credits · Undergraduate

Multi-Degree-Of-Freedom linear systems:mass and stiffness matrices; modal decomposition; state-space representation; response to arbitrary excitation; Fourier transforms and frequency response functions. Fundamentals of random vibrations: introduction to random variables; correlation and spectral density functions; linear response to stationary random excitations. Experimental modal analysis: modal testing and response function estimation; frequency-domain identification of modal parameters.
