Dynamics of Machine Tools

FSI-GDVAcad. year: 2025/2026

Machine-tool as any other product of human activity has to meet some functional and operational parameters. The aim of the machine-tools is to enable technological working processes of machining and forming opera-tions, which give the product their shapened size. The working processes are mechanical procedures and they can be ensured by corresponding types of machine-tools (forming, machining).
The machine-tool has to be satisfactory mainly from the manufacturing (i.e. machining and finishing) point of view. Other view points and criteria include the quality of produced components and entire machines. It is very important to ensure operational reliability and durability of tools and individual parts of machine.These properties of machine-tools are given by the dynamic properties of their mechanical systems.

Entry knowledge

Mathematics:
linear algebra, matrix arithmetic, Fourier transformation, spectral and modal properties of the structures, methods of creation of equation of motion, differential equations, finite element method.
Physics:
acoustic fundamentals, acoustic quantities (pressure, intenzity, power), acoustic signals, acoustic fields, signal spectra.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Course-unit credit requirements: 100% presence on the exercises, in case of the orderly excused absence is necessary to solve the given problems.
Final examination: The examination is carried out in the form of a cross-sectional written test. Making the correct answer to less than half of the questions is a reason not to pass the exam. The specific form of the exam, types, number of questions or examples and details of the assessment will be given by the lecturer during the semester.


Attendance at practical training is obligatory. The inspection of the education is carried out systematically, on the exercises the notification about the presence into list of students. The student preparedness for the exercises is carried out individually for some students, optionally by means of a short test. The absent exercise in a case an orderly excuse is necessary to carry out the completion of missing problems and optionally by solving a compensatory examples.

Aims

The analysis of the dynamic machine-tool system, analysis and modeling of dynamic phenomenon of working processes of machine-tools, modeling of their mechanical system and make out of computational model to be needed.
The analyses of possibilities how the dynamic properties of machine-tools to influence in desire direction.
Students will obtain integrated overview about dynamic properties and characteristics of machine-tools of various design. They will understand to the spectral and modal properties of machines and which are crucial for stable and failure-free operation. The knowledge to be obtained the students than will able to apply in the practice when to construct a highly powerful and reliable machine-tools.
