Vibration is the cyclic motion of an object around its equilibrium position. It can be free, self – excited or externally – excited, also can be undamped, damped, critical damping or overdamped. Unwanted vibrations lead to failure, while some vibrations are wanted for some operations involving shaking. Vibration problems start by equations of motion in differential form, then solving these equations analytically or numerically. and analyzing the result to control the design parameters
The objective of the course is to study the fundamentals of the vibrations and to introduce with the computer applications
