Introduction
'For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them.' - Aristotle

Welcome to Machine Dynamics & Mechanical Vibrations Lab!!
Click on 'Experiments' to see the list of experiments available. Feel free to explore the lab.

Objective

After completing every simulation experiment in the Machine Dynamics Mechanical Vibration lab students can be able to

1. Find the stiffness and critical damping of the system.
2. Calculate the damping coefficient, logarithmic decrement, damping ratio, damping frequency, and natural frequency of the system.
3. Learn the effect of damping in forced vibration of a single degree of freedom due to forces.
4. Understand the application of force excitation on two degrees of freedom spring-mass system.
5. Find how to set secondary mass parameters in order to absorb primary mass vibration.
