several levels, at the first level it is the chip cooling, at second level it is pcb cooling and at the
third level it is sytem consisting of several PCBs. At the fourth level, entire system requires

 UE18ME333: Mechanical Vibrations (0-0-2-4-4)
Preamble: Once a product or component meet their basic design requirement against various
loading conditions, then comes the behaviour of product or component (known as system now
onwards) during various operating conditions. Every system posses its own natural frequencies
by nature. Whenever, a excitation frequency is equal to or near to any natural frequencies of
the system, leads to a phenomenon known as resonance. The resonance leads to ideally infinite
response level of the system and finally leads to failure of the system. It is therefore, very
essential to estimate the theoretical natural frequency of any system before it is being used. The
present course Mechanical Vibrations is designed to make the aspiring design engineers to
acquire the knowledge of various steps involved in vibration analysis. This course also enhance
the knowledge of the students to take wise decision in choosing the appropriate approach like
discrete or continuous system approach to solve the mechanical vibration problems. Course

degree-of-freedom system under discrete system approach. Writing free body diagram,
obtaining equation of motion using Newton's second law of motion or energy methods or
Lagrangian's approach, estimating the natural frequency of the system, system response are the
various outcome of the first four units. In addition, various methods to suppress the vibrations
are also discussed. The course concludes with a atopic like continuous system approach and
finally exposing the students to various vibration measurement techniques and instruments.
