| Description: |
Introduction to simple vibratory motions, such as undamped and damped free and forced vibrations,
vibratory systems with more than one degree of freedom, Coulomb damping, transverse vibration of beams,
torsional vibration, critical speed of shafts, and applications.

 |
| Goals: |
To teach students a basic knowledge of point mass vibratory
systems and vibration of elastic bodies.
