The document provides an introduction to dynamics and vibration in engineering. It discusses the Millennium Bridge incident as a motivating example of undesirable vibration. The course will cover modeling structural systems with multiple degrees of freedom and understanding vibration phenomena. Simple examples are presented, such as a pendulum and spring-mass system, to derive the equations of motion and introduce concepts like natural frequency, stiffness, mass, and harmonic motion. Initial conditions and their role in determining vibration responses are also discussed.
