MTEC.4440 Mechanical Vibrations (Formerly 23.444)
Id: 038761 Credits: 3-3Description
The course will teach students methods to analyze single and two degree of freedom systems considering free vibration, harmonically excited motion, and transient vibration. Concepts of two degree of freedom systems generalized to multi-degree of freedom systems will be introduced. Various analytical approaches to vibration analysis will be taught. Solutions for continuous systems will be solved by the finite difference, finite element, and mode summation methods. Dynamic systems excited by random forces of displacements (random vibrations) will be covered. Additional mathematical content beyond Calculus C will be introduced within this course as required.
Prerequisites
MATH 2250 Calculus C, PHYS 1320 Technical Physics II, MTEC 2210 Statics and Co-req: MTEC 2220 Dynamics.
