Vertebrates are amongst the most successful animal groups. From fish, amphibians, lizards, crocodiles, birds and mammals, you will gain an understanding how the basal members of the clade have diversified and evolved to fill every imaginable niche on land, sea and air.
You will develop an overview of the anatomy, physiology, behaviour and the ecological interactions across this group of vertebrates.

This module provides an in-depth introduction to vestibular audiology, including the anatomy and physiology of the vestibular system within the wider contexts of the systems of eye movement and balance control, the vestibulo-ocular reflex, important pathologies of the vestibular system, the assessment of patients with vestibular orders, the impact of vestibular disorders on people, recovery mechanisms to vestibular disorders and vestibular rehabilitation.

This module is available for (i) MSc students taken on campus and (ii) also for CPD students (such as audiologists, physiotherapists and hearing therapists) taken as distance learning. This module profile describes the teaching approach for on-campus students. Potential CPD students should contact the module lead for further information about the separate, specific arrangements for distance learning: dr@soton.ac.uk

Vibration and shock affect engineered structures whenever dynamic loads arise in operation, from vehicles and motors to buildings. Analytical and numerical tools are needed during virtual prototyping to design structures that withstand their in-service loads, while experimental techniques are applied to models, components and assemblies for validation, parameter estimation and troubleshooting. By the end of this module you will appreciate common vibration phenomena and the predictive and experimental tools used to design and mitigate against them.

Whilst focused on the industrial tools of the trade, the module begins briefly with analytical descriptions of beams and plates, which provide useful qualitative models and insight into vital concepts. For quantitative predictions, finite element (FE) analysis is universally used to obtain the mass and stiffness matrices of complex structures. FE analysis is introduced briefly, but the emphasis is on the options available in commercial software for condensing models, computing modal and harmonic solutions and incorporating damping. The most common experimental technique is transfer function measurement, from which modes of vibration can be inferred, usually via an instrumented hammer or shaker test. Both are discussed in detail, and you will become competent at conducting hammer testing and interpreting data through a practical laboratory. The second half of the module comprises a hands-on investigation, undertaken in small groups, in which you select and apply the most appropriate measurement, analysis, simulation and mitigation strategies to solve a practical problem and report your findings to a fictitious client. Talks are also scheduled on unassessed topics of special interest, possible examples include shock response, FE model validation, digital twin modelling and rotating machinery.

By the end, you will be equipped to predict, measure and control vibration in real structures, ready for professional work and advanced study in structural dynamics.
