UCK 226E - Struc. & Mechanical Vibrations

Course Objectives

To introduce mathematical models and methods that can be used to investigate vibrations of mechanical and structural systems. And to give vibration information which is necessary for mechanical designer.

Course Description

Kinematics of vibration and fundamental principles. Single degree of systems, undamped and damped free vibration. Fourier series, Laplace transformation, transfer function, forced vibration, resonance, vibration isolation. Two degree of systems, frequency equation and natural frequencies, general coordinate systems and uncoupling of the systems. Multi degree of freedom systems. Frequency equation, natural frequencies and natural vectors, modal analysis and uncoupling of system, dynamic vibration isolators and application in aircraft. Introduction to continuous vibration, rod axial vibration, bending vibration of beams.
