No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1984–85 to 1984–85 (before that, 1964–65 to 1968–69 used the number for Experimental Mechanics); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Fundamentals of mechanical vibration. Forced, transient and nonlinear vibrations. Numerical methods for multidegree-of-freedom systems. Continuous systems. Vibration isolation. Measurement of vibration. Use of models and the analog computer.
As printed in the 1984–85 calendar, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.
