Engineering Vibration
Description:
Analysis of structural vibrations of
mechanical systems. Modeling for lumped and
distributed parameter systems. Topics include:
single- and multi-degree of freedom systems,
free and forced vibrations, periodic and non-periodic
forcing functions, mass/stiffness matrices,
and modal analysis. Continuous systems (string,
rod, and beam vibrations). Design considerations
and experimental testing methods. (winter, even
years*) |
