ME80563: Mechanical Vibration

The course aims to provide the analysis of Vibration phenomena in Mechanical systems. The course provides mathematical relationships between the stiffness of a mechanical construction system and the frequency of the system. The course highlights the major area of advantages   as well as the disadvantages of vibrations in mechanical engineering.
