Dynamics and Vibrations unit (ENG719)

Introduction

Students learn, through theory and laboratory experiments, to solve problems in dynamics and vibrations, using Newtonian kinematics and kinetics of rigid bodies. The course commences with planar motion with analysis of velocities then moving onto Coriolis acceleration of rigid bodies. Building upon the concepts of kinetics of particles, an introduction is made to rigid body kinetics using Newtonian mechanics based on force, mass and acceleration, work/energy and impulse/momentum methods. The final part of the course introduces mechanical vibrations. Commencing with single degree of freedom undamped vibrations then damped vibrations. Single degree of freedom forced vibrations without damping is discussed in addition to the magnification factor and its importance. The course concludes with damped forced vibrations, thus forming a comprehensive fundamental understanding of mechanical vibrations.
