Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

The course presents the theories of machine dynamics, how to model and simulate dynamic behaviour of machine systems in both time and frequency domains and how to transform the responses between these domains. In the course, technology and methods for load and vibration measurements are also introduced, and exercises on performing such measurements and analysing the measurement results are carried out. Furthermore, parameter identification and inverse modelling are discussed and practised.

Intended learning outcomes

On completion of the course, the student should be able to:

• model the dynamic behaviour of machine components and systems using Matlab and Ansys;

• analyse the frequencies contained in a measured dynamic response;

• identify dynamic system properties from data in vibration measurements;

• carry out inverse modelling of a dynamic machine system.

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

ÖVN1 - Passed laboratory sessions and written assignments, 3 credits, grading scale P/F

TEN1 - Written examination, 3 credits, grading scale A-F

The final grade is based on the grading of TEN1

Ethical approach

  • All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
  • In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
  • In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
