Objectives

Objectives: - analytical and experimental modelling of mechanical systems to analyse dynamic behaviour; - analytical/numerical techniques of dynamic models resolution to determine dynamic properties and the response of mechanical systems; - vibration control

Learning outcomes and competences

Learning Outcomes: By the end of the semester, students should: - be able to use analytical and experimental modelling in mechanical systems to analyse its dynamic behaviour; - be able to apply solution methods and resolution techniques to determine dynamic properties and the time and frequency response of mechanical systems; - be able to measure dynamic response and identify dynamic properties; - understand the dynamic behaviour of mechanical systems; - be acquainted with vibration control solutions and how to dimensioning them; - be capable of interpreting and criticizing results; - be capable of dimensioning mechanical systems under prescribed operational conditions.

Eligibility for exams

Students must be enrolled and attend to a minimum number of classes- according to General Evaluation Rules of FEUP

Calculation formula of final grade

Final Mark (FM): Distributed classification (DC) will worth 30% of the final mark, while the final exam (FE) will worth 70% of the final mark: FM=0.3xDC+0.7xFE

Examinations or Special Assignments

Distributed classification (DC) will be based on the following assignments: - Homework (HW): exercises given during classes to be done as homework. Students should give them back to the Professor in order to be corrected (they will be graded with a mark from 0 to 20). 4 assignments will be asked. - Laboratory Assignments (LA): Reports of laboratory assignments should be given to the Professor in order to be corrected (they will be graded with a mark from 0 to 20). 2 laboratory assignments will be asked. - Distributed classification (DC) will be as follows: DC= (HW1+HW2…+LA1+LA2…)/n. Final exam (FE): a written exam that will be graded from 0 to 20 and it will be divided into two: theoretical part (8) where students cannot consult notes and a practical part (12) where students are allowed to consult notes. The exam will last 3 hours.
