Dynamics and kinematics of machine elements; derivations and fundamental analysis of equation of motion of single-degree-of-freedom systems; vibrations: free and forced vibrations (harmonic, periodic, quasi- and aperiodic), introduction to computational methods to solve differential equations (Euler, Newmark-Beta), multi-degree-of-freedom systems.
The course will equip students with in-depth knowledge in dynamics, vibrations, and kinematics as a fundamental element of Mechanical Engineering and a prerequisite to proposed streams in subsequent professional years.
Understanding of how to codify real-life observations (related to things in motion) with the help of mathematic-mechanical expressions. Ability to derive equations of motion of mechanical systems (machine elements and machines) by taught kinematic and dynamic methods. Ability to analyse mechanical systems for linear behaviour. Ability to independently apply methods and analysis to a wider and yet-unknown spectrum of real-life engineering problems.
