Vibration of discrete and continuous systems, including single and multiple degree-of-freedom systems as well as strings, rods, beams, and membranes. Theoretical and experimental methods for the determination of natural frequencies and mode shapes, as well as solving forced vibration problems. Discussion of applications, such as vibration measurements, signal processing, and vibration control. Introduction to nonlinear vibrations.
