Aims of Module | |||
---|---|---|---|
To provide the student with the ability to understand, apply and discuss the modelling concepts and theories associated with free and forced vibration of 1-DOF systems and the concepts and theories associated with the dynamics of planar mechanisms, rotating machines, rigid-body and impulsive systems. |
Learning Outcomes for Module | |
---|---|
On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to: | |
1 | Solve problems involving free and forced vibration of 1-DOF systems including vibration isolation and transmissibility. |
2 | Apply the concept of dynamic equivalence in the experimental results of single degree freedom vibrating systems. |
3 | Calculate out-of-balance forces associated with rotating machines. |
4 | Compute the kinematics of planar mechanisms. |
Indicative Module Content |
---|
Kinematics of planar mechanisms with revolute (pin) and prismatic (sliding joint); forces and torques arising in planar mechanisms owing to inertia forces and moments associated with acceleration of links. Free vibration of undamped 1-DOF systems. Dynamic equivalence of engineering systems. Free and forced vibration of damped 1-DOF systems. Transient response to simple inputs. Steady-state sinusoidal response. Vibration isolation and forces transmitted to supports. Impulse force, impact and momentum. Kinetic and potential energy. Balancing of rigid rotors. Single-plane and two-plane balancing. |
