Modelagem e análise matemática de vibrações mecânicas utilizando o software Modellus

Abstract

This work addresses the modeling and mathematical analysis of mechanical vibrations, using Modellus software as a pedagogical tool. It highlights the importance of meaningful learning in Physics, emphasizing the need to integrate theoretical concepts with simulation practices to facilitate the understanding of physical phenomena. The work is structured into chapters that cover everything from an introduction to Modellus software and its interface to its practical application in mechanical vibration simulations. It also presents methods for solving linear differential equations with constant coefficients, which are fundamental for modeling the studied systems. Additionally, the work includes an appendix with guidelines on how to use the software to set up simulations and create animations of the studied vibratory motions, providing a practical guide for users. In summary, this work join theory and practice, utilizing technology to enhance learning and visualization of complex physical concepts, promoting a more interactive and effective education.
