Overview
All structures in realistic engineering systems are designed to resist vibrational forces caused by external or internal sources. With the advancements in technological processes and requirements for ultra-high precision, the amount of vibrations affecting system performance has to be significantly reduced. As such, it is important to comprehend, model, analyse, and control these vibrations. This module aims to cover the concept of structure vibration and control in physical systems. Using real world examples, various mathematical models, characteristics, performance, and stability of feedback control systems will also be introduced and evaluated. Furthermore, the effectiveness of controller design for proportional-integral-derivative controllers and appropriate compensators will be evaluated using Bode plots, root loci, and frequency response techniques. A case study on modeling and controlling vibrations of the voice coil motor in a commercial hard disk drive will also be discussed.
What You’ll Learn
- Comprehend basic terminology used in structure vibration and control systems.
- Analyse mathematical models and characteristics of control systems.
- Evaluate various performance and stability of feedback control systems.
- Use Bode plots, mathematical models, and frequency response techniques to calculate gain and phase margins and system bandwidth.
- Design proportional-integral-derivative (PID)- type controllers and appropriate compensators for control of vibrations in a realistic engineering structure

Course Series
Modular Certification Courses - Building Services Engineering
These modules are stackable towards a Postgraduate Certificate in Building Services Engineering (PGCert BSE) or can be taken individually as a single module:
Modules
- MEC6003 Construction Management using BIM
- MEC6015 Project Management
- MEC6017 Indoor Environmental Quality Engineering
- MEC6018 Lighting Technology for Building Services
- MEC6021 Structure Vibration and Control
Each module carries ECTS 6 credits. Candidates who pass any 4 modules (totalling 24 credits) with a CGPA of 2.5 or more will be awarded the Postgraduate Certificate in Building Services Engineering by SIT. All the above modules are subsidised by SkillsFuture Singapore.
Effective Jan 2023, the above modules have been renamed from
SIE60XX to
MEC60XX. There is no change in their stackability towards the Postgraduate Certificate in Building Services Engineering.
