EG 215 - Mechanical Vibrations

Credits: 1
Contact Hours: 1

Prerequisites: PH 245 and EG 208

Corequisites: EG 212 and MA 255

College Level Prerequisites: None

Description: This supplementary course covers fundamental vibrations of one degree of freedom of mechanical systems (undamped, damped, free, and forced). Newton’s Laws and energy methods are used as well as an introduction to the methods of Euler and LaGrange. EG 215 is for University of Michigan engineering majors. When our three hour EG 212 dynamics course and our one hour EG 215 course are combined, University of Michigan gives the student credit for University of Michigan’s four hour dynamics course. EG 215 has been accepted for credit at Western Michigan as a mechanical vibration course once in the past. EG 215 will be run on a need to run basis when we have sufficient demand to offer the course.
