Course Description Building upon the fundamentals of dynamics, this course explores the advanced study of vibration engineering, covering essential concepts such as the derivation of equations of motion, natural frequencies, and single-degree-of-freedom systems. The curriculum further integrates AI-assisted modeling and response derivation for vibration systems, leveraging AI tools to accelerate the transition from theoretical analysis to physical experimental validation. Students will be guided in utilizing Large Language Models to enhance system identification and signal processing capabilities, ultimately applying these techniques to the practical design of vibration absorbers and the optimization of vibration isolation and control.
