1. Scope of the lab

To support the theory learned in vibration and dynamics course with modelling and simulation to
understand the implementation of various vibration and dynamics and to instil confidence in
students to approach the real world problems.

2. Objectives of Lab
Developing skill set to analyse the vibration and dynamics related problems with the
simulation aid to help during design.

3. Learning Outcome of the lab

 How to write Matlab program for solving various vibration and dynamics problems.
 How to create new vibration systems in Matlab and how to solve it analytically

4. List of simulation experiments: Software Tool used: MATLAB
