Pre-requisites:

Dynamics (MEEM2700), Differential Equations (MA3520, MA3521, or MA3530)

Course Learning Objectives:

Students who successfully complete this course will have a good understanding of the modeling of vibratory motion of mechanical systems using both single and multiple degree of freedom concepts. They will have studied free and forced response of these systems. Students will be able to design simple vibration isolation systems. They will understand the concepts of natural frequencies and mode shapes and their significance in the solution of multiple degree of freedom problems. Students will have an introduction to the use of Laplace Transforms as a solution to differential equations of motion. They will be able to complete basic system modeling tasks.
