Riassunto

This book presents a new teaching methodology in Dynamics using E-learning, simulations and animation of mechanisms and mechanical vibrating systems. It covers Dynamics and Vibration modules that are taught at different undergraduate levels to the engineering students at Universities in the UK and worldwide.

In addition to the theory sections and the tutorial sheets provided after each chapter, software called DAMA, ‘Dynamic Analysis for Mechanical Application’, in which simulations of mechanisms and vibrating systems are implemented, is provided via a website. The DAMA software is packaged with everything it needs to work immediately. The simulations it contains are used to enhance students understanding of the motion and vibration of mechanical systems. The simulations include motion of a single cylinder engine, four-bar linkage mechanisms, gears and sliding/rotating rigid bars along with many others.

The simulations are fully interactive so that any change in the input parameters is immediately reflected in the animation, output plots and output parameters.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Dynamics and Vibration: An Introduction is a textbook to support Dynamics and Vibration modules across a wide range of undergraduate engineering courses from first year to final year including civil, mechanical, aerospace and medical engineering. The unique DAMA software, included as a free online resource, generates computer simulations that provide students with a new way to visualise the motion of mechanisms and vibrating systems. By varying the input and output parameters of the simulations themselves, students can clearly see and understand the effects of system changes.

Dynamics and Vibration: An Introduction is well structured and easy to understand, with a wealth of examples and tutorial questions. It offers lecutres and student of Dynamics and Vibration a practical and concise resource specifically for their needs.

Topics covered include:

• motion of particles and rigid bodies with and without reference to masses and forces (Kinematics and Kinetics) including motion of wheels, gears, linkages and mechanisms;
• balancing of machines including rotating masses and multi-cylinder engines;
• free and forced vibration of a single degree of freedom (mass, a spring and a damper) including damped, damped systems and vibration isolators;
• free and forced vibration of two-degree of freedom systems including vibration of bars and lateral vibration absorbers;
• vibration of continuous systems including lateral vibration of cables, longitudinal vibration of bars and lateral vibration of beams using analytical solution and Finite Element Method.
