Final exam Tutorial: Tutorial sheets will be available
on the course webpage at regular intervals covering the portions discussed in
the lectures. You are expected to work out the problems to understand the
concepts. These tutorials will not be graded. There will a few assignments involving
the use of MATLAB. These assignments/projects will be graded. Grading: Assignments 20%, Quizzes 30%,
final 50%. These weights are approximate; the instructor reserves the right
to change them later, as needed. Prerequisites: Engineering Mechanics, Strength
of Materials, Linear algebra and Differential equations. Course Summary: Vibrations of Discrete Systems –

Tutorial Sheets
The tutorial sheets are
provided to help the class to apply the concepts learned in the class and be
able to solve a variety of problems. The worksheets need not be turned in and
will not be graded. But anyone having trouble solving the problems can
approach me for guidance along with your working of the problem. Quiz 2 : Solution to Problem No. 1 |
