Harmonic Oscillator Course
Gain mastery over harmonic oscillators, progressing from simple harmonic motion equations to advanced damping, resonance analysis, and isolation design. Derive and solve differential equations, calculate transmissibility curves, and optimise parameters like mass, stiffness, and damping for practical vibration control using verified physics principles and checks.

What will I learn?
This course provides a practical route from basic mass-spring systems to damped oscillators, resonance, and vibration isolation. Learners derive key equations, interpret frequency, period, energy, and phase, solve numerical problems, and use transmissibility and frequency response methods to design and optimise real-world setups effectively.
