Objectives
Specific objectives of the UC:
- understanding of the vibratory phenomenon associated with mechanical vibrations;
- analysis and characterization of the oscillatory movement of mechanical systems in free or forced vibration, with or without damping;
- determination of the effects of vibration on the performance and safety of mechanical systems;
- Know how to apply vibration control techniques;
- Compression of the fundamental concepts associated with noise. Effect of noise on humans. Noise measurement and control techniques-

Teaching method
The teaching of the subject is divided into theoretical lectures of an expository nature in which students are systematically invited to participate and in practical classes where students solve problems applied to situations that are in the field of mechanical engineering, often using didactic simulators.
Evaluation method
Evaluation (AD) or by Exam To obtain frequency to UC the student has to carry out experimental work (TE), outside the faculty. The valuation of this work for the final grade of the distributed evaluation is 15%. The elements used to carry out the distributed evaluation of the students and the percentages affected are as follows:
- (TE) - Experimental work (15%) ⇒ (Checks the mandatory frequency to the UC))
- (T1) - 1st Test (40%)
- (T2) - 2nd Test (45%)
The final grade of the distributed evaluation is determined by the following weighted average.
- Final grade (AD) = 0.15 TE + 0.40 T1 + 0.45 T2 ≥ 9.5 Values
For the student to obtain approval to UC the result of the final grade (AD) must be greater than or equal to 9.5 values.
If the student does not obtain approval to UC in the distributed evaluation and has obtained frequency to UC can go to the appeal exam (E). The final approval is obtained if the final grade is greater than or equal to 9.5 values.
- Final grade (Examination) = 0.15 TE + 0.85 E ≥ 9.5 Values
