24-661 Introduction to Vibrations with Applications
12 units, Carnegie Mellon University
This is an introductory course on vibrations and its applications, including computational methods. In addition to providing a comprehensive theoretical background on vibrations of lumpedparameter systems and simple distributedparameter systems, the course will make an extensive use of commercial finiteelements software for modeling and simulations of realistic mechanical systems. Experimental demonstrations of various vibrations phenomena will also be included. The theoretical treatment will focus on linear systems, and will include modeling of single and multidegreeoffreedom systems normalmode analysis including natural frequencies and mode shapes free and forced vibrations frequencydomain analysis vibrations of simple continuous systems such as strings, beams, rods, and torsional shafts. The course is intended for graduate students and for undergraduate students with substantial mastery of core undergraduate subjects in mechanics and mathematics.
