Vibration phenomena are observed in nature and in daily life. They are related to the performance, efficiency and safety of machines and structures. Learning the theory of vibrations is useful and necessary to understand the characteristics of various kinds of vibration phenomena, solve the vibration problems in engineering and also design the use of vibrations. This course covers from single to multi degree of freedom systems and continuous systems. The course focuses on considering the underlying principles and the characteristics of vibrations of each system.
By the end of this course, the students will be able to:
1) Understand the basic concepts of vibrations
2) Learn the systematic approach to vibrations.
3) Explain the characteristics of various kinds of vibration phenomena.
Vibration Phenomena, Free Vibration, Forced Vibration, Transient Vibration, Parametric Vibration, Single Degree of Freedom Systems,
Multi Degree of Freedom Systems, Continuous Systems, Advanced Vibrations
