COURSE DESCRIPTION

The objective of this course is to teach seniors basic methods and concepts in vibration analysis and to give a brief overview of techniques used in vibration isolation and absorption. Simple discrete oscillatory systems comprised of masses, springs, and viscous dampers are used to introduce students to fundamental concepts and the characterization of general vibration behavior. Students are introduced to analytical and numerical methods and rudimentary use of finite-element software in vibration analysis and characterization. By the end of the course students should be familiar with the terminology of vibration analysis, vibration measurement instruments, testing methods, and design methods for vibration resistance and isolation.
