Course Description

Dynamic response of single and multiple degree-of-freedom (DOF) systems.

Topics

  • Math preliminaries
  • Developing equations of motion
  • Single DOF Vibrations
  • Multiple DOF Vibrations
  • Vibration absorbers
  • Mode shape normalization
  • Modal analysis
  • Continuous system vibrations
  • Solving for discrete and continuous system vibration

Learning Outcomes

The student, upon completion of this course, will be able to:

  • Derive the equations of motion for single and multiple DOF mechanical systems.
  • Solve for the vibration response for single DOF systems, including systems with arbitrary forcing.
  • Solve for the vibration response for classes of multiple DOF systems.
  • Solve for the vibration response for continuous systems.
