Supervisor:

Department of Environmental Engineering

Synopsis:

Student will be very efficient in the technical acoustic, noise measurements and evaluation of noise.

Requirements:

Student has to know the basic physics and mathematics

Syllabus of lectures:

The range and division of technical acoustics. Spectrum analyses. General wave equation and its solution. Interference of acoustic waves. Decibel scales. Foundation of psychological acoustics and noise evaluation. Wave propagation in the open air. Wave propagation in the rooms. Wave propagation in lossless solids. Mechanical sources.
