MEC6448   Acoustics   (10 credits)

Description

This course will enable students to understand the physical principles of sound generation and propagation, modern methods and instrumentation for measuring and predicting the basic engineering quantities with which sound waves can be described. These include sound pressure, velocity, intensity, and power. The course will be split into three parts: sound waves in gases and fluids, sound waves in elastic solids, and numerical modelling methods.
