Prerequisites:
|
Basics of Mechanics of Machines (kinematics and dynamics of rigid bodies and mechanisms) |
Target skills and knowledge:
|
Providing students with technical and practical knowledge in the mechanics of vibrating systems.
Providing students with knowledge in discrete and continuous dynamics modeling of mechanical systems.
Developing abilities in the understanding of the dynamic behavior of a mechanical system through the autonomous development of single or multi dofs models reproducing the chief vibratory phenomena of a mechanical system and the excitation mechanisms.
Developing knowledge and abilities in the measurement and analysis of the vibrations in mechanical systems. |
Examination methods:
|
The assessment of knowledge and abilities is carried out through an exam divided into three parts distributed over two separate days.
Two parts are written assessments done in the same day. The third part consists of an oral test that can be optional or mandatory depending on the overall grade obtained in the two written assessments.
The written test is divided into:
- a first part in which, through three separate open-ended questions, the student's knowledge of the course topics is ascertained,
- a second part in which, through the solution of a practical problem (exercise), the abilities related to the analysis of a vibratory phenomenon, the autonomous writing of a dynamic model, and the evaluation, also numerical, of the vibratory phenomena are ascertained.
All students who have passed the written test can, on a voluntary basis, take an oral test to discuss in more detail the topics of the course, also in order to obtain a better evaluation. The oral test is mandatory for those students who aspire to record grades higher or equal to 25/30. |
Assessment criteria:
|
The evaluation criteria by which the knowledge and abilities acquired will be verified are:
- the completeness of the theoretical knowledge acquired on the course topics;
- the level of autonomy acquired in the interpretation and solution of mechanical vibrations problems.
- the proved ability to apply theoretical knowledge to the development of dynamic models and to the evaluation, through calculations, of vibratory phenomena (natural and anti-resonance frequencies, vibrating modes, responses to external excitations, etc.);
- the presentation capabilities and the rigorousness in the discussion of the issues discussed. |
