"Mechanical Vibration Theory" is one of the core courses in fields of mechanics, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering and vehicle engineering. By taking this course, the students are expected to have a good grasp of systematic knowledge of mechanical vibration theory, analysis methods and application skills to engineering practice. It is required for the students to understand dynamic behaviors of typical vibration systems and to know how to establish vibration models and carry out modal analysis. Based on that, the students should be familiar with approximation methods for vibration problem solving, vibration isolation techniques, rotational system vibration, random vibration analysis and fundamentals of nonlinear system vibration.
