Mechanical Vibrations

Description

Fundamentals of vibrations in mechanical systems and structures. Single degree of freedom systems: free and forced vibration responses; damped systems; response to harmonic excitations; response due to unbalanced rotating masses; harmonic base excitation; transmissibility; vibration isolation. Two degrees of freedom systems. Sensors and instrumentation for data collection and analysis. Fourier analysis and signal processing. Application of vibrations in machine fault diagnosis. Case studies and simulation in MATLAB environment.
