Course Description

This course introduces the fundamental concepts of vibrations, free, damped, and forced vibration of single and multi-degree of freedom systems with discrete masses; various types of damping and vibration absorption techniques. Furthermore, students will learn about the quarter and half vehicle models, human response to vibration, and vehicle ride models.

Objective

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to demonstrate a sound understanding of the fundamental concept of vibration of mechanical systems. Including free vibration of single-degree-of-freedom systems; vibration systems excited by a harmonic force; forced vibration of systems under general forcing conditions; systems with multiple degrees of freedom systems and vibration isolators and vibration absorbers.

Target Audience

This course is ideal for mechanical, aerospace, automotive and manufacturing engineering students and graduates. The course is beneficial for engineers in industry that would like to expand their knowledge about machine design and different mechanical components.

Level of Course

This course is basic to intermediate. Students are expected to have some engineering knowledge in static and material science before joining the course. Student can also learn the required pre-requisites while taking the course.

Learning Objectives

1. Demonstrate a sound understanding of the fundamental concept of vibration of mechanical systems. Including free vibration of single-degree-of-freedom systems; vibration systems excited by a harmonic force; forced vibration of systems under general forcing conditions; systems with multiple degrees of freedom systems and vibration isolators and vibration absorbers.

2. Generate a two-degree-of-freedom vehicle model for pitch and bounce to analyze vehicle ride characteristics and evaluate vehicle human exposure to whole-body vibration.
