The science of measurement as applied to engineering testing and manufacturing will be studied in this course. Analysis and prediction of the dynamic behavior and response of mechanical systems. Various types of oscillations and physical properties such as damping and stiffness are explained. 3 cr. hrs. Industrial application of noise control criteria, measurements, materials, and design.
Vibration control is comprised of source identification, system isolation, and testing.
Extensive laboratory program also includes spectral and signal analysis. Registration for any graduate student who has received the grade of IP in Thesis 599 is required while the thesis is in progress.
