Description

Vibrations of discrete and continuous systems, fundamental and modern acoustics.

This course covers the fundamentals of sound, wave description and propagation, acoustics instrumentation, noise criteria, sound source types and radiated sound fields, outdoor sound propagation, environmental noise and vibration through sound power measurement techniques, sound in enclosed spaces, sound transmission loss, and acoustic enclosures.
