Vibrotechnology and Vibromachines

Take the first step toward mastering high-level digital skills!

This course is a component of the RTU study course "Vibrotechnology and Vibromachines" and is designed as a self-paced learning experience to provide an introductory insight into the subject and spark further interest. While the course is freely accessible, it does not offer a certificate of completion.

Learn how vibration problems are solved using numerical simulations, parallel programming, and high-performance computing.

This course combines theory with hands-on practice in ANSYS, Python, and JupyterLab, enabling learners to model and analyse vibrotechnical systems efficiently. Interactive content and flexible study formats support independent learning.

Aim of the Course

The aim of the course is to deepen participants’ understanding of the mathematical foundations of vibrotechnology and vibromachines, introduce the fundamentals of parallel programming and their application in vibration analysis, and develop practical skills in solving vibration-related problems using selected digital tools (ANSYS, Python, JupyterLab).

Learning Outcomes

Analyse the fundamental relations of kinematics and dynamics in vibration engineering to define the mathematical model of the problem.
Develop skills in parallel programming for efficient systems modelling and explore the advantages of parallelising computational tasks to use available resources efficiently.
Learn how to create a numerical model of a rotating system with 3-4 parameters and carry out its simulation using a high-performance computing cluster and integrating parallel programming in processing the results to offer solutions for improving the system’s performance (DigComp level 7).

The full-scale study course provides significant added value – it features intensive practical work with digital tools and High-Performance Computing (HPC) technologies, ensuring the development of high-level digital skills corresponding to levels 7-8 of the European Digital Competence Framework (DigComp).

If you wish to pursue in-depth studies and receive a certificate validating your acquired DigComp competencies, apply for the full study course as a guest learner through the RTU Lifelong Learning Department:
