This course teaches the basics of mechanical vibrations and their applications. You will learn how to: - Define and classify different types of vibrations, such as free, forced, damped, and undamped vibrations - Use differential equations, energy methods, and complex numbers to model and solve vibration problems - Analyze the natural frequencies, mode shapes, and response of single-degree-of-freedom systems - Model and simulate the vibrations of particles, rigid bodies, springs, masses, dampers, and other mechanical elements - Draw analogies between mechanical and electrical systems and use them to simplify the analysis - Use popular software tools such as MATLAB/SIMULINK to implement and test your models - Apply your skills to real-world problems and analogous case studies from various fields and sectors By the end of this course, you will have a solid foundation in mechanical vibrations, and you will be able to apply it to your own projects and interests. You will also gain a valuable skill that is in high demand in many industries and disciplines, such as: - Engineering: design, analysis, and optimization of mechanical systems and devices such as robots, vehicles, machines, structures, etc. - Science: understanding and prediction of physical phenomena such as sound, waves, earthquakes, etc. - Medicine: diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders using vibration-based techniques such as ultrasound, MRI, etc. - Entertainment: creation and enhancement of sound and visual effects using vibration-based technologies such as speakers, microphones, cameras, etc. Whether you are a student, a professional, or a hobbyist, this course will help you master the basics of mechanical vibrations, and open up new possibilities for your learning and career.
