Course Aim

After passed course, the student shall be able to;

1. Knowledge and Understanding

describe basic principles of mechanical vibrations and their properties
explain the background and origin of equations of motion for simpler dynamic systems.
explain the cause of vibrations in single-degree, multi-degree and continuous systems.

2. Skills and Abilities

create and apply simpler models of single degree of freedom, multi-degree of freedom and continuous systems.
use Matlab as a tool for dynamic calculations and be able to write simpler programs.
develop programs for simulation of simple dynamic systems.
design simpler dynamic systems to avoid breakdowns or minimize vibrations.

3. Judgement and Approach

evaluate the reasonableness of analytical and numerical results.
critically evaluate results from simpler dynamic analyses.

Contents

The course deals with the basics of mechanical vibrations where the student should be able to develop and analyze simpler models of real problems. The course deals with basic machine dynamics such as

single degree of freedom system (SDOF)
multi degree of freedom system (MDOF)
Lagrange equation
vibration isolation and measurement technology
dynamic simulation
and continuous systems.

Realization

Each course occasion´s language and form is stated and appear on the course page on Luleå University of Technology's website.

The course is conducted through lectures where important elements of the course are highlighted and explained. Lessons in the form of some theory review and exercises that complement the lectures. Computer exercises give you the opportunity to create models yourself and simulate problems that an engineer may face.

Examination

If there is a decision on special educational support, in accordance with the Guideline Student's rights and obligations at Luleå University of Technology, an adapted or alternative form of examination can be provided.

To obtain a final grade in the course, approved computer exercises and passed on the written exam are required. The grading of the final grade for the course is based on the grade on the written exam.

Remarks

The course cannot be part of the degree together with the course r M0019T.
