Four software modules for upper-undergraduate/first-graduate-level dynamics and vibrations courses are presented. The modules treat (1) single-degree-of-freedom spring-mass-damper systems, (2) up to three-degree-of-freedom systems, (3) transverse vibration of uniform beams, and (4) three-dimensional rigid-body attitude dynamics. The first three modules use the Visual Basic platform and have been used as supplementary material in a senior-level vibrations course. The fourth module uses Matlab. Student feedback is included.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
