AE3007 Vibration and Aero Elasticity Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2021

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

• To study the effect of time dependent forces on mechanical systems and to get the natural characteristics of system of single degree of freedom system
• To study the solving methods of multi degree of freedom systems.
• To introduce the approximates method to solve vibration problems.
• To make the student to understand the solving techniques of vibration of continuous system
• To study the aeroelastic effects of aircraft wings.

UNIT I SINGLE DEGREE OF FREEDOM SYSTEMS

Introduction to simple harmonic motion, D’Alembert’s principle, free vibrations – damped vibrations – forced vibrations, with and without damping – support excitation – transmissibility – vibration measuring instruments.

UNIT II MULTI DEGREE OF FREEDOM SYSTEMS

Two degrees of freedom systems – static and dynamic couplings – vibration absorber- Multi degree of freedom systems – principal co-ordinates – principal modes and orthogonal conditions – Eigen value problems – Hamilton’s principle – Lagrangean equations and application.

UNIT III CONTINUOUS SYSTEMS

Vibration of elastic bodies – Vibration of strings – longitudinal, lateral and torsional vibrations

UNIT IV APPROXIMATE METHODS

Approximate methods – Rayleigh’s method – Dunkerley’s method – Rayleigh-Ritz method- Holzer method – Matrix iteration method.
