| Course contents : | The course provides the fundamentals of the dynamics of mechanical systems.
Course ouline
- Review of Lagrangian and Newtonian dynamics and application to simple mechanical systems.
- Single and multiple degrees-of-freedom systems: fundamentals(resonance frequency and mode-shape), response prediction to forced excitations.
- Continuous systems and discretisation methods.
- Dynamic behavior of rotating machines: critical speeds, balancing methods.
The theoretical concepts will be illustrated through hands-on exercices and vibration experiments performed in the laboratory. One project will be assigned during the course semester. |
|
| Course objective : | The objective is to give to the students a solid background in the modelling and the simulation of the dynamical behavior of mechanical structures. Typical vibration problems encountered in mechanical systems and rotating machines will illustrate the theory. |
|
| Prerequisites : | This course requires basic knowledge of fundamental calculus, differential equations and applied mechanics. |
|
| Workshops : | The course will also propose:
- several practice exercises;
- one homework related to a design problem of a multiple degrees-of-freedom system; this project has to be accomplished individually and will be evaluated;
- three laboratory sessions which aim at initiating the students to experimental techniques in vibration mechanics. The experiments are chosen to illustrate the theoretical concepts given during the course. A laboratory report is due within the three weeks following each session.
Participation to the laboratory sessions is mandatory. |

|
| Assessment : | The final grade is based on the written examination and on the laboratory and project reports.
A. Written examination of theory (50%)
The theory examination consists in:
- answering to one question of theory drawn in the list available on the students' portal myULg;
- giving some brief definitions and/or answering to a multiple-choice questionnaire.
No reference materials are allowed for the theory examination.
B. Practical written examination (40%)
The practical written examination consists in solving exercices similar to those given during the semester. For this part of the examination, it is allowed to consult the book of theory only.
C. Laboratory and project reports (10%) |
