Vibrations

Synopsis: Vibrations occur in most mechanical systems. The different types of oscillations which cause vibration are analysed and the concepts of damping and resonance are explained. The application of these ideas in designing a car damper system and a car radiator are explored. The idea of transmissibility is introduced and illustrated within an oscillating electromagnetic system.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
