What will I learn?
This course provides a practical guide from basic mass-spring systems to damping, resonance, and vibration isolation. Learners derive key equations, solve for motion, interpret frequency, period, energy, and phase, complete numerical examples, and use transmissibility and response plots to optimise real designs confidently.
