What will I learn?
This course provides a rapid, practical route from basic mass-spring equations to damped systems, resonance, and isolation design. Learners derive and solve key differential equations, interpret angular frequency, period, energy, and phase, tackle numerical examples, verify outcomes, and use transmissibility and Bode plots to assess and optimise real-world configurations with assured parameter selection.
