The course covers basic concepts of vibrations and its applications. Study of vibrations is important to mechanical, aeronautical and civil engineers. It is necessary for a design engineer to have a sound knowledge of vibrations. The emphasis is on application to common engineering situations. The main aim of the course is to prepare the participants to tackle complex and frontier technological problems in vibrations. Thus, participants will gain theoretical knowledge of mechanical vibration and its practical applications with the ability to solve dynamics problems using finite element analysis software. The participants will also be trained to identify and rectify the errors while solving dynamics problems and interpret the results from the analysis. The course is composed of approximately two-half theory and one-half use of commercial software in solving problems.
