Educational goals: to introduce students with little or no previous experience of mechanical vibrations, and with quite different backgrounds, to the basic concepts of vibrational behaviour, to provide an overview of the principle and application of vibration analysis and its role in investigating the response of structural systems. To introduce students to the concepts of identification of structural systems. The goal is to identify the characteristics (modal, mechanical properties) of the system itself, based on measurements of the structural response.
Teaching method: front lessons, laboratories.
Assessment and evaluation: homeworks to be presented at the oral exams, including programme elaborations (typically using MatLab) and their applications.
