Basic Acoustic Principles – Acoustic terminology and definitions, plane and spherical wave propagation – Theories of monopole, dipole and quadrapole sound sources. Sound transmission and absorption – Mass law transmission, sound transmission through double walls and multiple layers – sound transmission through ducts, sound absorbing materials.
Structure borne sound: Sound radiation and structural response, acoustic fatigue.
Machine Noise- Noise generation by bearing, gears motors, fans propellers, generator sets, cooling, pumpsets, pipe, etc.
Noise Control: Noise ratings and standards, human tolerance levels, equivalent sound level and loudness contours – Engine and muffler designs – Noise control through barriers and enclosures and absorbent linings – Vehicular noise and control – Environmental noise control.
