Summary

 

Dynamics - MECH50008

Aims

This module aims to enable students to master the essential basic topics in vibrations and dynamics. Vibration can be a key feature of an engineering system or a source of system failure and this module studies the free vibration of single-degree-of-freedom undamped and damped systems and an introduction to multi-degree-of-freedom systems. In dynamics topics include work-done-energy equation, general plane motion , impulse-linear momentum, angular impulse-angular momentum, impact, generalized angular impulse-angular momentum, simple gyroscopic motion.

ECTS units: 5
