Course Objective

The text material is intended as an introduction to the study of vibrations and waves
in general, but the discussion is almost entirely confined to the mechanical systems.
Thus, except in a few places, an adequate preparation for it is a good working
knowledge of elementary kinematics and dynamics.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   be familiar to the dynamics of motion
2   to understand of the wave dynamics in general
3   to build differential equations acording to applied forces
4   able to analyse the waves in time and space
5   to understand the phenomenon of resonance
6   able to have knowledge about coupled oscillotory systems
