Description including Unit Aims
The aim of this course is to develop an understanding of basic vibration phenomena and properties of single and two-degree-of-freedom vibrating systems. This course also provides introduction to basic aeroelastic phenomena in aerospace context.
Intended Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of the unit the student will be able to:
- recognize and describe how vibrations are caused, characterized, and what their consequences are,
- derive mathematical models of single and two-degree-of-freedom linear vibrating systems in free vibration and with various forms of excitation,
- recognize and interpret the role of damping and natural frequencies in vibration transmission and in free and forced responses of the vibrating systems,
- analyse and calculate modal and harmonic response characteristics of the vibrating systems with focus on their application in vibration control,
- recognize, describe and analyse basic sources and mechanisms of aeroelastic problems in aerospace context,
- interpret and report measured and simulated vibration data.
Teaching Information
Teaching will be delivered through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous sessions, which may include lectures, practical activities supported by drop-in sessions, problem sheets and self-directed exercises.
