Advanced multi-degree of freedom system analysis techniques for vibroacoustic systems:

Modal analysis
Statistical energy analysis
Finite element analysis

This topic aims to provide students with an understanding of vibration analysis techniques as applied to structures and machines.

At the completion of the topic, students are expected to be able to:

Understand the principles of vibrations
Understand the concepts of vibration modes and natural frequencies
Be able to measure and estimate vibration modes and natural frequencies for multi-degree-of-freedom systems
Understanding Statistical Energy Analysis and its application to complex vibroacoustic systems
Understand experimental vibration analysis techniques such as mobility, reciprocity, and modal analysis
Understand the use of Finite Element Analysis and its application to vibration design
Understand the behaviour of a mechanical system, by analysing the vibration signature
Be able to predict the performance and diagnose faults in machines
