The fundamental skills and knowledge required to measure, analyse, and control noise and vibration problems found in different engineering applications are discussed. In particular the following topics are covered; acoustic quantities, noise measurements and analysis, noise standards, sound generation, propagation, absorption, transmission, acoustic materials, and noise control techniques with direct applications to actual problems found in industry such as fans and blower noise, gas-jet noise, gear noise, and acoustic resonance in heat exchanger tube bundles. |
