System Dynamics
Prof. Hiroshi WADA
With the increase of velocity and the decrease of
weight in modern machines, the analysis of vibration
problem is becoming more and more important in
engineering design. Therefore, in this course, the focus
will be on the acquisition of fundamental knowledge
regarding dynamic problems which may arise in
machinery. To develop their understanding, students
will be asked to solve examples during the lectures and
as homework. I will also ask some students to show us
their solutions during the following lectures.
Evaluation will be based on attendance, homework and
a final examination.
