ME 471L - Mechanical Vibrations Laboratory
This laboratory course provides an opportunity to apply the fundamental vibrations theory taught in ME 421 to actual mechanical hardware. The experiments illustrate fundamental concepts from an experimental vibration perspective. Experimental vibration measurement methods are applied to estimate simplified dynamic models for vibrating mechanical systems. The students compare analytical to experimental results to gain a sense of the limitations of both modeling and experimentation. Experiments may include free vibration of linear and nonlinear systems, response, measurement of translational and rotational, forced harmonic vibration, spectral analysis of vibration signals, experimental data uncertainty, and comparison of finite element model dynamic results to experimental data.
The laboratory assignments complement the lecture course ME 421 , which must be taken as a prerequisite or concurrently.
