Course overview
This course aims to equip students with advanced knowledge and skills on vibration theory, modelling and analysis of complex mechanical systems. This course delves into system modelling via the use of energy analysis and its application to complex continuous and multi-DOF vibrating systems, and analysis of nonlinearities in vibrations. By employing this knowledge, learners will develop complex problem-solving skills to address vibrations and dynamics of Micro- Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS). This course aligns with the program intent to provide in-depth understanding of vibration theory and modelling, preparing students to devise robust mechanical machines/systems.
- Principles and Modelling of Vibrating Systems
- Vibrations of Continuous and Complex Systems
- Applications and Nonlinear Vibrations
Course learning outcomes
- Explain the concepts of vibration modes and natural frequencies and their measurement and determination for multi-degree-of-freedom systems
- Discuss System Modelling via use of Energy Analysis and its application to complex vibrating systems
- Explain vibration analysis concepts and experimental techniques including modal analysis
- Explain the fundamentals of flow-induced vibrations
- Explain fundamentals of nonlinear vibrations and analyse the vibration behaviour of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) for performance enhancement purposes
- Explain the fundamentals of vibrations of continuous systems such as strings, beams and plates
