Overview
Description
Analysis and modelling of two degree-of-freedom vibrating systems. Matrix representations of multi-dof systems. Free and Forced response calculation. Vibration of continuous systems - calculation of modal frequencies and shapes dependent on boundary conditions and wave equation. Introduction to computer based simulation of mechanical engineering systems and use of commercial & development packages for simulation. Determination of modelling parameters from design and material information. Simulation of mechanical systems and components including machine elements and electromechanics. State-variable modelling and techniques for validation of modelsLearning Outcomes
1. Analyse 2 DoF vibrating systems for modal frequencies and shapes and response to harmonic excitation
2. Determine the wave equation for 2nd & 4th order systems and apply boundary conditions to define mode shapes
3. Develop modelling strategies for multiple DoF simulation
4. Formulate a State variable model of mechanical systems
5. Build dynamic models in Simulink and apply parameters through MATLAB. Analyse and present output results.
Course Disclaimer
Courses and course hours of instruction are subject to change.
Credits earned vary according to the policies of the students' home institutions. According to ISA policy and possible visa requirements, students must maintain full-time enrollment status, as determined by their home institutions, for the duration of the program.
ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) credits are converted to semester credits/quarter units differently among U.S. universities. Students should confirm the conversion scale used at their home university when determining credit transfer.
Please note that some courses with locals have recommended prerequisite courses. It is the student's responsibility to consult any recommended prerequisites prior to enrolling in their course.
