LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course is an optional specialization course and is offered by the CAD/CAM sector in the 8th semester of studies. The course aims to provide students with specialized knowledge about the vibrations of mechanical systems.

More specifically, it aims at the:

• recognition of the spectrum and the necessity of solving vibration problems in the mechanical systems
• understanding the process of systematically developing vibration models;
• acquire familiarity with the available methods and techniques for solving complex real-world vibration problems

Upon successful completion of the course the student will be able to:

• know how vibration measurement instruments work
• form and solve the differential equations of multi-degree-of-freedom vibrating systems
• solve the problem of eigenvalues ​​and eigenmodes and perform modal analysis
• apply iterative methods to determine eigenvalues ​​and eigenmodes
• solve problems of vibrating continuous media
• solve problems of unbalance, whirling shafts and effects of vibrations to humans
• design isolation devices and installations and use dynamic dampers
