Vibrations of Structures (ENME 902)
Offered By:
Engineering and Materials Science Faculty
Description
In this course, the students will apply the basics of vibrations analysis to analyze the vibrations of continuous structures such as beams and plates. The Hamilton principle will be introduced to derive the equations of motion, then the exact solution, where available, will be studied. Later the students will be introduced to the solution of the equations of motion using approximate methods (Rayleigh methods, Finite Element method). Then the students will be introduced to the fundamentals of modal analysis and vibrations control through basic concepts that will help understanding topics in self study courses later in their studies
