Vibration phenomenon is ubiquitous and one of the most common phenomena in nature. The vibration in engineering can be found everywhere, such as the vibration of building structures and bridges under wind or seismic loads, vibration of mechanical systems during operation, vibration of cutting tools, flutter of airplane wings, vibration of various impact events and so on. Although vibration phenomenon has its own characteristics, it has the same objective law, so it is possible to establish a unified theory to study. 

The main task of vibration mechanics course is to study the dynamic behavior of linear system, analyze the natural vibration characteristics of the system and the basic theory and calculation method of system response analysis under deterministic (or stochastic) dynamic load. The purpose of teaching is to enable students to master the basic principles of vibration mechanics and the methods of solving problems on the basis of learning theoretical mechanics and material mechanics. Establishing the concept of structural or system dynamic characteristics; Master the modeling, solution and result analysis methods of linear discrete and continuous elastomer systems; To have a deep understanding of vibration theory, analysis method and its preliminary application in engineering. It lays a necessary mechanical foundation for the research, engineering design and technical development of mechanical problems in engineering field.
