ONAE 5034

Provides an introduction to mechanical vibration with a focus on vibration of marine machinery and on the dynamic response of marine structures. Topics include: single degree of freedom systems ? free vibration, energy methods, response to harmonic excitation, response to arbitrary inputs; multi degree of freedom systems ? natural frequencies and mode shapes, response to harmonic excitation; frequency response functions; on-board sources of vibration, vibration measurement techniques and instrumentation.
