Fundamentals of Non-Linear Vibration

This course covers a comprehensive understanding of non-linear vibration fundamentals. It is delivered by Professor Santosh Kumar Dwivedi from the Mechanical Engineering Department at the Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati. The course is designed to provide a solid foundation in non-linear vibration, making it ideal for students and professionals in the field of mechanical engineering. It focuses on the linear and non-linear equations of motion, the superposition rule, and its application in linear and non-linear systems. For instance, the course explains how a pendulum's motion can be described as a linear system when the displacement is small but becomes non-linear when the displacement is large. This understanding is crucial in many engineering applications.
