Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes of UE
To build and linearise, in a systematic way, the equations governing the motion of a mechanical system, by means of analytical or numerical tools.
To derive the modal properties, the free or forced response, in the frequency and time domains;
understand the basics of the finite element method when applied to the dynamic analysis of one-dimension mechanical systems.
To develop the spirit of criticism by developing, on the same application, theoretical, numerical and experimental aspects.
To get more autonomous while developing the ability to work in a group (laboratory by groups of two/three students with global objectives).
UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance
Discrete mechanical systems: construction and linearisation of equations of motion, stability, free or forced response, eigen frequencies and mode shapes, Rayleigh's ratio.
One-dimension continuous systems: constitutive equations, eigen frequencies and mode shapes, Rayleigh-Ritz method, finite element method.
Vibration measurement: sensors, acquisition of frequency response functions.
Prior Experience
Algebra; differential calculus; numerical methods; kinematics, statics and dynamics of mechanical systems; strength of materials.
Type(s) and mode(s) of Q2 UE assessment
Q2 UE Assessment Comments
Intermediary exercise test involving the material seen during the course at that time : 20 % of the mark, maximal duration of 3 hours.
Global laboratory report and participation: 20 % of the mark.
The written examination lasts max 4 hours, is worth 60% of the mark, and consists of 2 parts
- a part about theory for which the students are allowed to consult their notes during 10 minutes (without writing) after reception of the question;
- a part consisting of original exercises.
