【Course description】
The course teaches vibration analysis of multi degree of freedom system, continuum such as a string, beam and membrane. It also teaches how to analyze nonlinear vibration systems.
【Aims】
The real vibration system is usually multi-degree-of freedom system, but it's necessary to choose an appropriate model to analyze vibration behavior for vibration reduction. The aim of this course is to learn about vibration behavior in a typical model of multi-degree-of freedom system and to understand analysis method and its characteristics of nonlinear vibration.
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1. Obtain the natural frequencies and the natural vibration modes of multi degree of freedom vibration systems and the fundamental continuous vibration systems (Ex. Strings, Beams).
2. By using modal analysis, obtain the time histories of free vibration and the frequency responses of continuous vibration systems.
3. Explain the characteristics of nonlinear vibrations.
4. By the analytical methods, obtain the backbone curves and frequency responses of nonlinear vibration systems.
5. Explain the characteristics of self-excited vibrations and parametric vibrations.

At the beginning of each class, solutions to exercise problems that were assigned during the previous class are reviewed. Towards the end of class, students are given exercise problems related to the lecture given that day to solve. To prepare for class, students should read the course schedule section and check what topics will be covered. Required learning should be completed outside of the classroom for preparation and review purposes.

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
Not specified.
Course materials are provided during class.
Learning achievement is evaluated by exercise problems(30%) and a final exam(70%). However, if a face-to-face final examination cannot be held due to the spread of COVID-19 infection or other reasons, it will be evaluated by reports assigned for classes.
Students should have completed Mechanical Vibrations(MEC.D201) or have equivalent knowledge.
