Summary
An intermediate module covering the subjects of rigid body dynamics, vibrations and feedback control in the area of dynamics: Rigid body kinematics and dynamics in planar motion, planar mechanisms, velocity and acceleration diagrams. In the area of structural vibration: Free and forced vibration of damped single degree of freedom structures, vibration isolation, free vibration of multi-degree of freedom structures, experimental modal analysis, shaft whirl and beam vibration, and in the area of control: Representation and analysis of simple control systems, PID control, stability of feedback systems. Re-assessment: Students who fail this module overall and are required to complete a re-assessment will be re-assessed by examination. The re-assessment examination mark alone will be used to determine whether students satisfy progression requirements.
Target Students
Required to have basic mechanics from A-level Physics or equivalent. MMME1036 Statics and Dynamics (MMME1028 in the UK) is a prerequisite. Second year students in mechanical engineering and any other students who fulfill the prerequisites. Available to JYA/Erasmus students.
Classes
