Foundation Course on Vibration Analysis – Theory and FEM

The course covers the 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 vibration and ensure that the intended functional requirements are achieved. The emphasis is on application to common engineering situations carried out often in industry using finite element method. The study of dynamic characteristic of any system using Finite Element Analysis are useful in design optimization and validation, Hence, designer must be able to clarify many queries.

The main objective of the course is to prepare the participants to tackle complex and frontier technological problems in dynamics. Thus, participants will gain theoretical knowledge and its practical applications with the ability to solve vibration 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 fifty percent theory and fifty percent hands on commercial software in solving vibration problems.
