2.00 Credits
The theory of mechanical vibrations with an emphasis on design applications and instrumentation. Fourier analysis techniques, numerical and experimental analysis and design methods are presented in addition to theoretical concepts. Vibrations of single-degree of freedom systems are covered, including freedamped and undamped motion; and harmonic and transient-forced motion, such as support motion, machinery unbalance and isolation. Modal analysis of multidegree of freedom systems is introduced. In addition to laboratory exercises on vibration instrumentation, an independent design project is assigned.

4.00 Credits
Extends the student's theoretical, numerical and experimental base of knowledge beyond an introductory level. The state properties of stress, strain and elastic deformation and their relationships are reviewed in detail. Topics from advanced strength of materials and elasticity theory are covered including unsymmetrical bending, shear fl ow in thin-walled sections, curved beams, torsion in thin-walled tubes, and three-dimensional coordinate transformations. The use of the fi nite element software presented in 0304-518, Advanced Computational Techniques, is extended to more complex design-oriented problems. Experimental topics include the use of strain gages. A design project is assigned that utilizes numerical and/or experimental methods. (0304-437; corequisite 0304-518) Class 4, Credit 4
