Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
After the course, the student will be able to:
- derive the equation of motion for vibrating systems with one or two degrees-of-freedom;
- solve the equation of motion for undamped and damped systems under free or forced vibration;
- compute the natural frequencies and mode shapes of systems with multiple degrees-of-freedom;
- use the theory of vibration to solve design problems.

CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD
Content
Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:
The course will start by presenting the equation of motion and solution for an undamped system, with one degree-of-freedom, that is freely vibrating. Next, damped systems and the case of forced vibration will be introduced. The theory will be used to study a few common design problems, such as vibration of rotating systems. Finally, these theoretical concepts will be extended to systems with multiple degrees-of-freedom.
