Engineering 363, Mechanical Vibrations
Home > Courses > ME363
Catalog description
Analysis of vibrations in single- and multidegree-of-freedom systems.
Free and forced vibrations with various types of damping. Response
to transite-state and transient excitations.
Prerequisites: ME 202 and GEN ENG 205-4.
Who takes it
Engineering students usually take this course during their junior
or senior years.
What it's about
Complex machines often produce vibrations as they operate. Such
vibrations could shorten the life of equipment, decrease its effectiveness
and precision, or simply produce an unpleasant noise. This course
will cover various ways to detect, prevent, and dampen vibrations.
