Mechanical Vibrations (Spring 2013)

Course code : ME-MEV-U1
ECTS Credits : 5 Status : Optional
Placement : 6. semester Hours per week : 4
Length : 1 semester Teaching Language : English

Principal Content : 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.
Teaching method : 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.
Required prequisites : ME-MAT1-U5 and ME-MEK2-U5
