BIRLA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY AND SCIENCE-PILANI - GOA CAMPUS

INSTRUCTION DIVISION, SECOND SEMESTER 2023 - 2024

Course No.: ME F319

Course Title: VIBRATION AND CONTROL

Instructor: Dr. Sandeep Jose

1. Scope and Objective: This course is designed to acquaint the students with topics in vibrations and
control. The emphasis is on application to common engineering situations. The main aim of the course is
to prepare students to tackle complex and frontier technological problems in vibrations and control. The
analysis of increasingly complex system has been instrumental in the usage of concepts like Lagrange
equations and generalized coordinates. Topics in control systems are included in the last part of the
course.

2. Course Description: Small oscillations of linear dynamical systems, free and forced vibrations of single and
multi-degree-of-freedom systems, normal modes and orthogonality relations, generalized co-ordinates and
Lagrange's equations, matrix formulation, eigenvalue problem and numerical solutions, transient response of
one-dimensional systems, continuous system, vibration of string, rods, bars and beams, Closed loop control,
Conventional and non-conventional control strategies, Stability criteria, State space approach
