References to the relevant sections of the texts will be made in the lecture notes. You will be given problem sheets.
Recommended Texts
The following texts are recommended:
J L Meriam and L G Kraige. Engineering Mechanics: Volume 2, Dynamics. Wiley, New York. (the 7th
edition is current, but earlier editions are equally suitable.)
Y A Cengel, R H Turner & J M Cimbala. Fundamentals of Thermal-Fluid Sciences (SI version). McGraw
Hill.
You probably have these books already from your previous studies.
D J INMAN, Engineering Vibration, Prentice Hall International Editions, (1994, 2001 or 2014) is a more
specialised vibration text, which may be useful if you plan to study vibration at a higher level.
Additional information on vibration and fluid mechanics can be found in books such as Theory of Vibration by
Thomson and Fluid Mechanics by F M White, which are available from the Eng. Library.
Labs
These have been developed to reinforce the theoretical material. Attendance counts as part of your coursework. You
are required to make some calculations and hand in some results as part of your coursework.
Lab. A:
Lab. B:
Flow metering and losses in pipes / bends (ENG 3.206, 2 hours, weeks 5-6)
Vibration of a two degree of freedom system (ENG 3.319, 2 hours, weeks 10-11)
Lab. groups and scheduling will be according to the laboratory streams on SSO. Please check your timetable NOW, and
record your scheduled date/time in your diary.
