5580 Vibration Theory and FFTs

Summary

Some basic mathematics and a solid intuitive feel for dynamic systems, Fourier transforms and Autosepctra provide grounding for the concepts to be discussed next. If the student blanks out during the math all is not lost, its designed to be optional (and minimal).

Single Degree-Of-Freedom

Multi-Degree-Of-Freedom

Distributed vs. Lumped Parameters

Db Scaling

Dynamic Range

Fourier Transforms

Aliasing and Sampling Theory

Auto-Spectra

Cross-Spectra

Leakage and Windowing

Prerequisites

Module 5520. An understanding of fatigue theory.
