COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course covers dynamic response of discrete and continuous media. Topics include:
work and energy, impulse and momentum, Lagrangian dynamics, free and forced
response to periodic and transient excitations, vibration absorber, free and forced
response of multiple degree-of-freedom systems with and without damping, method of
modal analysis, vibrations of continuous media, such as extensional, torsional, and
bending vibrations of bars, approximate methods of analysis
