Vibration of Continuous Systems

By Prof. Sudip Talukdar   |   IIT Guwahati
Learners enrolled: 327
ABOUT THE COURSE:
All structures or mechanical systems are in fact, continuous having their physical parameters, external forces and their response are distributed in space. The dynamic behavior of the structures or machine components, can only be truly reflected in the continuous systems. The slenderness of the structures necessitates the adoption of continuous modelling. The exact solutions that can be obtained from continuous models provide true physical behavior in addition to yielding various bench mark results for testing the efficacy of many numerical methods used in discrete approaches. Keeping this in mind, the present course has been framed to teach the students about the formulation and solution of vibration problems of the continuous systems by exact method as well as by numerical techniques with application of MATLAB tool box. The course is designed for 12 modules in which each module will consist of 3 or 4 lecture hours.
