Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
On completion of the course, the students should be able to
1. Understand the relevant terminology, including degrees of freedom, natural frequencies, free and forced vibration, transmissibility, resonance and mode shape.
2. Derive correct mathematical models for single and multi-degree of freedom lumped parameter linear systems under different excitations.
3. Represent system equations of motion in matrix form and be familiar with stiffness, mass, and flexibility matrices.
4. Carry out the analysis of a system response for free vibration, steady state harmonic vibration, and transient response to shocks or pulses.
5. Explain the role of vibration absorbers.
6. Explain the phenomenon of shaft/rotor whirling.
7. Explain reciprocating out-of-balance in IC engines and balancing procedures.
8. Use numerical software (MATLAB) to solve eigenvalue problems to determine system natural frequencies and mode shapes.
9. Use numerical software (MATLAB) to determine dynamic response by numerical integration.
