Theoretical Acoustics
About
About the course
Course content
The subject contains acoustic waves in gas and fluid media - wave equations, reflection and transmission between two fluid media, from multi-layers and thin elastic plate. Furthermore the course deals with room acoustics, reverberation and statistic aspects and vibration from source and vibrating bodies; effects of viscosity and other dissipations; scattering and diffractions; ray acoustics and nonlinear effects in acoustic wave propagations.
Learning outcome
A. Knowledge: (1) To get a profound understanding of the physical principles and theoretical treatment of acoustics and applications in audio technology, noise control, room acoustics, underwater acoustics and medical ultrasonics; (2) to get a profound understanding of methodology for acoustic waves generation, propagation, reflection, scattering and absorption;
B. Skills: (1) To be able to model and analyze wave fields in acoustic media; (2) To be able to use the physical principles and acoustic methods to analyze acoustic phenomena in room acoustics, noise control, underwater acoustics and medical ultrasonics;
