Learning Outcomes
1Finds the equations of motion for vibrating systems and makes nonlinear equations of motion linear.
2It finds the response of mechanical systems with one or more degrees of freedom depending on the initial state and the acting vibration force.
3Designs a passive vibration absorbing/damping device for a mechanical system subject to harmonic vibration.
4Demonstrates his knowledge of mechanical vibrations in an interdisciplinary team project.
