COURSE OBJECTIVES

Students will have a good understanding of the modelling of vibratory motion of mechanical systems using both single and multiple degree of freedom concepts. Students will be able to design simple vibration isolation systems. They will understand the concepts of natural frequencies and mode shapes and their significance in the solution of multiple degree of freedom problems. Students will have an introduction to the use of Laplace Transforms as a solution to differential equations of motion. They will be able to complete basic system modelling tasks. Students will acquire the ability to:

(1) Formulate mathematical models of problems in vibrations using Newton’s second law or energy principles.
(2) Determine a complete solution to the modelled mechanical vibration problems.
(3) Correlate results from the mathematical model to physical characteristics of the actual system.
(4) Design of a mechanical system using fundamental principles developed in the class.
