General information about studying at Luleå university

TIMEPERIOD: Q III

LANGUAGE: Swedish

EXAMINER
K G Sundin Univ lekt

PREREQUISITES
MTM 030 Variational methods in solid mechanics

COURSE AIM
Knowledge of wave propagation fenomena and ability to analyse mechanical waves in structures.

CONTENTS
Mathematical background (5%): Partial differential equations, Fourier methods, FFT, Transfer function Analysis of structures (70%): Structural elements such as rods, beams, plates are analysed regarding wave transmission properties. Concepts such as propagation, dispersion, phase velocity and group velocity are introduced. Reflection and transmission at boundaries are treated. Project (25%): One of the theoretically treated phenomena is studied experimentally. The work is planned and accomplished by the students (under supervision) with the aid of available experimental equipment. As an alternative, a deeper theoretical study of an area of interest can be performed.
