Mechanical vibration (5 cr)

Objectives (course unit)

The student knows the basics of dynamic behavior of rigid body structures and is able to use his/her skills to analyse vibration problems and to avoid mechanical vibration problems. The student will be able to form the basic formulas for analysing the vibration and forces and moments in rigid bodies in case of discrete systems, with or without damping and free or forced vibration.

Content (course unit)

The basics of dynamic behavior of rigid body strutures, nature of mechanical vibration, discrete systems, damping, free and forced vibration, construction of equations of motion by using Newton and Lagrange methods.
