Résumé:
This handout is intended for 2nd-year engineer students specializing in the
following fields: Technological Sciences (ST): Electrotechnics (ETT),
Electronics (EN), Process Engineering and Civil Engineering (GC).
It is a core module that deals with the oscillations of mechanical and electrical
systems, a subject that has seen significant growth in recent years. This field has
greatly contributed to the development of techniques capable of solving physical
problems across various disciplines.
This document is a detailed course with exercises. It is divided into two main
parts: "Vibrations and Mechanical Waves," structured into five chapters listed
below:
Chapter I: Linear Systems with One Degree of Freedom.
Chapter II: Free Damped Linear Systems with One Degree of Freedom.
Chapter III: Damped Forced Oscillations: Systems with One Degree of
Freedom.
Chapter IV: Oscillations of multi-degree-of-freedom systems.
Chapter V: Wave propagation
We were compelled to condense the course slightly, as the subject is covered in
a single 12-week semester, with one lecture and one tutorial per week. However,
we have ensured that the essential content remains intact.
Additional knowledge will be acquired in a separate subject, the "Vibrations and
Mechanical Waves practical work, with a 3-hour lab session every 15days.
Keywords Mechanical Waves, vibration, One Degree of Freedom, Two Degrees of
Freedom
