This course deals with the study of vibration in mechanical systems which is concerned with the oscillatory motions of bodies and the forces associated with them. This course aims to provide an understanding of the nature and behavior of dynamic engineering systems and the capability of applying the knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering to solve engineering vibration problems.
Fundamental aspects of mechanical vibrations, the types and causes of various vibratory motions are described. Free and forced vibrations are covered. Response of massless shafts to unbalance forces is presented. Sources of vibration in rotating machines are explained.
