Vibration and shock affect engineered structures whenever dynamic loads arise in operation, from vehicles and motors to buildings. Analytical and numerical tools are needed during virtual prototyping to design structures that withstand their in-service loads, while experimental techniques are applied to models, components and assemblies for validation, parameter estimation and troubleshooting. By the end of this module you will appreciate common vibration phenomena and the predictive and experimental tools used to design and mitigate against them.

Whilst focused on the industrial tools of the trade, the module begins briefly with analytical descriptions of beams and plates, which provide useful qualitative models and insight into vital concepts. For quantitative predictions, finite element (FE) analysis is universally used to obtain the mass and stiffness matrices of complex structures. FE analysis is introduced briefly, but the emphasis is on the options available in commercial software for condensing models, computing modal and harmonic solutions and incorporating damping. The most common experimental technique is transfer function measurement, from which modes of vibration can be inferred, usually via an instrumented hammer or shaker test. Both are discussed in detail, and you will become competent at conducting hammer testing and interpreting data through a practical laboratory. The second half of the module comprises a hands-on investigation, undertaken in small groups, in which you select and apply the most appropriate measurement, analysis, simulation and mitigation strategies to solve a practical problem and report your findings to a fictitious client. Talks are also scheduled on unassessed topics of special interest, possible examples include shock response, FE model validation, digital twin modelling and rotating machinery.

By the end, you will be equipped to predict, measure and control vibration in real structures, ready for professional work and advanced study in structural dynamics.

Vibration and shock of engineered structures occur due to dynamic loads arising during operation, e.g. in transportation vehicles, motors/generators and buildings. Analytical and numerical prediction tools are required during virtual prototyping to design structures to withstand their in-service loads, whilst experimental techniques are generally applied to scale models, components and assembled structures for model validation, parameter estimation and trouble-shooting purposes. By the end of this module you will have gained an appreciation for commonly occurring vibration and shock phenomena and the predictive and experimental tools available to design and mitigate against them.

Whilst focussed on industrial tools of the trade, this module begins briefly with analytical descriptions of beams and plates. Such simple structural components often prove useful qualitative models in practical situations and provide helpful insight into vital concepts. For quantitative predictions, finite element (FE) analysis is universally used to obtain mass and stiffness matrices of distributed and complex structures. FE analysis is introduced briefly but the emphasis is on analysis options available in commercial software for condensing such models, computing modal and harmonic solutions and incorporating damping.

Common sources of vibration are discussed, and methods are met for characterising and modelling sources. Two specific and ubiquitous examples are considered in detail: random excitation and rotating machinery.

The most commonly used experimental technique is that of transfer function measurement, from which modes of vibration can be inferred. Almost invariably, transfer functions are measured using either an instrumented hammer test or a shaker test, both of which enable the structure to be excited in a controlled and measurable way. Both techniques are discussed in detail, and you will become competent at hammer testing through a practical laboratory. Another type of vibration testing concerns the structural integrity of components and structures that are subjected to large dynamic loads, such as electronic equipment during a rocket launch. Commonly used standards for such tests are outlined, and a visit to a commercial test facility may be possible.

The capstone to the module is an investigation in which students select and apply the most appropriate measurement, analysis, simulation and mitigation strategies studied throughout the semester to address a practical problem. The exercise is assessed through a consultancy style report.
