At the end of this course, the student will be able to:
• carry out force analysis of machinery through application of the principle of virtual work; • model elements of single degree of freedom systems and perform free vibration analysis of such systems; • obtain forced response of single degree of freedom systems due to harmonic forcing; • carry out free vibration analysis of multi degree of freedom systems with no damping; • design a flywheel to suit to a given speed fluctuation limit and to a specified set of supply torque-load combination in machinery.
