ME 6100 - Advanced Vibrations Analysis


Short overview of vibrations of a multi-degree-of-freedom lumped-mass system followed by vibrations of continuous systems such as bars, beams, membranes and plates, using exact and approximate methods of solution, such as Rayleigh-Ritz, Galerkin and other variational approaches. Some elements of non-linear vibrations.
