Målsætning : To provide the students with a firm foundation for solving vibration problems related to structures and machines, using analytical and numerical methods. To give the students a basic background for advanced studies in dynamics and vibrations.

A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:

• Identify sources for inertia, stiffness, energy-dissipation and external loads in some standard mechanical systems.
• Use Newton"s second law, free body diagrams and the energy method to derive the equations of motion (scalar or matrix-vector form) for simple models of mechanical systems with a finite or infinite number of degrees of freedom
• Determine the natural frequencies for mechanical systems with a finite or infinite number of degrees of freedom.
• Use analytical and numerical methods to solve standard equations of motion for mechanical system models.
• Understand and explain eigenfunctions, eigenvectors and eigenvalues.
• Identify resonance problems for mechanical systems whose dynamics (i.e. inertia and energy dissipation) can not be neglected.
• Account for the limitations in the models and methods used, and predict the possible consequences of making simplified assumptions, especially linearization and limitation of the number of degrees of freedom.
• Write technical reports, with correct description of theoretical and experimental procedures, in a clear way, using technical terms, giving physical interpretations and evaluations of results.
• Use the computer software DAMA and MATLAB for solving vibration problems.
• To give the students a basic background for advanced studies in dynamics and vibrations.
• Read engineering literature on mechanical vibrations.
Hovedindhold : Equations of motion with initial conditions.

Vibrations of linear single-degree-of-freedom systems: Free and forced vibrations for translation and rotation. Viscous damped systems and vibration isolators.

Pendulums and mass moment of inertia.

Vibrations of linear two-degree-of-freedom systems: Free and forced vibrations. Vibration absorbers. Viscous damping.

Vibrations of continuous systems: Equations of motion for strings, bars and beams. Boundary and initial conditions. Eigenfunctions, eigenvectors and eigenvalues. Whirling shafts and Dunkerley’s formula.

Finite Element Methods: Mass and Stiffness matrices and equations of motion for bar and beam expressed in Matrix form.

Introduction to non-linear vibration.

The software “DAMA” will be used to generate computer simulations and animations in order to enhance the students’ understanding of the motion and vibration of mechanical systems.
Undervisningsform : The teaching is both project-oriented and problem-based, using realistic systems. There will be lectures. 4 assignments and a project based upon experiments with Frequency Analyzer must both be handed in. MATLAB simulation will be use in the project.
