Learning objectives

Knowledge and ability to understand: at the end of the course the student will have the knowledge of the main problems related to mechanical vibrations and their isolation, as well as the understanding of the mechanisms that generate these vibrations and of the engineering analysis methods.
Skills: the student will have the necessary competence to deal with a problem of vibration damping and the experimental analysis of the same.
Making judgments: the student will have the ability to undertake an experimental measurement and analysis campaign where necessary.
Communication skills: knowing how to interact with technicians and engineers in the field of mechanical vibrations, knowing how to interpret complex monitoring graphs.
Learning skills: the greatest skills will be those related to the analysis of a practical problem.

Prerequisites
