Vibration Simulation and Analysis Teaching Tool (VSATT): An Interactive Learning Tool Based on MATLAB-Simulink GUI

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Mastering the mechanical vibrations of a Mass-Spring-Damper system is essential, particularly in structural design where resonance can cause catastrophic failures.However, undergraduate students often face challenges in understanding these concepts, leading to reduced engagement in teaching and learning activities.To address this, the Vibration Simulation and Analysis Teaching Tool (VSATT) was developed as an innovative, interactive platform to enhance comprehension of Single Degree of Freedom forced and free vibrations.Leveraging MATLAB-Simulink and a user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI), VSATT provides hands-on exploration of vibration principles through dynamic simulations and detailed response analysis.Validation results showed an error margin of less than 1%, while feedback from 112 users reported positive outcomes in accessibility, ease of learning, motivation, understanding, and overall effectiveness, with scores exceeding 87%.These findings highlight VSATT's role in advancing interactive learning tools in engineering education by offering a flexible and engaging platform for mastering complex vibration dynamics.
