Fundamental Concepts and Terms in Vibration Vibration is a mechanical phenomenon, It is a movement first in one direction and then back again in the reverse direction. e.g: the motion of a swinging pendulum, the motion of a tuning fork. Any simple vibration is described by three factors: its amplitude; its frequency and rate of oscillation. Some of the general terms you will come across while studying on vibration topic are Oscillatory motion, Simple Harmonic Motion, Periodic Motion. now we will see the above mentioned terms in brief. Oscillatory motion is described as motion that repeats itself in a regular intervals of time. for example a sine wave or cos wave or pendulum. The time taken for an oscillation to occur is often referred to as the oscillatory period. Simple Harmonic Motion: Simple Harmonic Motion is periodic motion in which the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement. F = -k*x A simple harmonic motion of a pendulum is an example of m...
Career after Graduation from B.Tech / B.E Mechanical Engineering in India Going through the strenuous course of completing a B. Tech degree is definitely an achievement. But for a mechanical engineer the struggle doesn’t end there. Mechanical engineering is one of the oldest branches of engineering. It is also referred to as the mother of engineering. This field has a wide scope of learning and is extremely diverse. Most of the modern day inventions are contributed to this field of engineering . Mechanical engineers have to understand various concepts like thermodynamics, mechanics, robotics, kinematics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, CAD , CAM . All these concepts are universally used to create and design different type’s motor vehicles, manufacturing units, aircraft and aerospace parts and other assortments of machineries that are used every day and also at industries. So once you are in final year or graduated in B. Tech/B.E in Mechanical Engineerin...
