Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this subject, students should be able to:

  1. Use Virtual work to determine the equilibrium position of a mechanism
  2. Analyse the three-dimensional kinematics and kinetics of a rigid body
  3. Model a real world system as a collection of simple mechanical components
  4. Determine the response to free and forced vibrations using standard differential methods or Laplace transforms
  5. Balance a rotating disk to reduce vibrations according to standards
  6. Analyse vibration isolation systems and measurement systems
  7. Verify the theory presented in the lectures by taking the measurements in the real world and use them for verification purposes
