Abstract:
This paper presents an overview of an interactive multimedia vibrations
program called GT Vibrations. GT Vibrations contains a series of modules
that deal with elementary vibrations, transient vibrations, and
continuous
systems. The program is intended to be used as a supplemental tool for
undergraduate courses in vibrations and system dynamics at Georgia Tech.
The underlying goal of the program is to enhance the student's knowledge of
vibrations by supplementing complex problems with text, graphics,
animation, sound, and interaction. The program presents the student
with what-if design scenarios in which he can modify different
parameters of a mechanical system; in this fashion the student can see
how different parameters affect the overall response of a system. The
program is essentially a visual design tool which complements the theory
and problem solving done in the classroom.
