Overview
Credit: 3 PDH
Length: 23 pages
This course will introduce you to the basic principles and terminology of acoustics. You will learn about sound pressure levels, sound power levels, sound intensity levels, vibration levels, frequency, temporal variations, loudness, vibration transmissibility and vibration isolation. Additionally, the author covers definitions of fundamental acoustic properties, and you will learn how they are calculated, utilized, and applied to a variety of noise and sound engineering situations you will encounter in your daily practice. This information will prepare you to address many design and analysis issues associated with buildings and the environment.
This course is intended for engineers and architects who want an understanding of the fundamentals of acoustics, including terminology, definitions and calculation of fundamental acoustic properties. Other topics that will be covered include: decibels, sound pressure level, sound power level, sound intensity level, vibration levels, frequency, temporal variations, speed of sound and wavelength, loudness, vibration transmissibility, and vibration isolation effectiveness.
