Obiettivi formativi
The learning outcomes need to refer to the Dublin Descriptors: 1. Knowledge and understanding: Knowledge and understanding of the fundamentals of vibration mechanics. 2. Applying Knowledge and understanding: Applying knowledge and understanding to analyze dynamical components, structures, and systems. 3. Making judgments: The structural mechanical design under consideration of dynamical considerations including vibrations requires understanding and ability to make judgments based on theory and experiments. 4. Communication skills: Communication skills to convey and transfer understanding of mechanical vibrations. Communication skills to explain results of dynamical analysis and their consequences to structural mechanical design. 5. Learning skills Learning skills to independently study the specific fields of mechanical vibrations for applications beyond this lecture.

Modalità d'esame
- Formative assessment: In class exercises: during the course; ILOs assessed: 1, 2, 3, 4; - Summative assessment: 100% written exam: 2 hours; ILOs assessed: 1, 2, 3, 4.

Criteri di valutazione
The written exam includes numerical exercises, theoretical questions and questions related to the laboratory activities (no books or own notes are allowed during the exams). Exercises and questions will show ability to solve problems of mechanical vibrations as well as knowledge-based questions to show understanding of the material.
