Topics covered include the study of the fundamental single-degree-of-freedom systems and the complex multiple-degree-of-freedom systems using Newton's law of motion, the energy method, Rayleigh's method, Lagrange's equations, the mechanical impedance method, influence coefficients, and matrix methods. Special topics include the study of transient vibration of continuous media. Solutions to the various differential equations encountered are presented. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hoursPrerequisite(s): ME 321 or equivalent.
